Activity: Diver and Underwater Photographer
Nationality:Italian
What’s your passion? I love photography and travelling. Since I live in Dubai this has turned into underwater photography and diving all over from Middle East to the Far East.
How long are you in the U.A.E. and why did you came here?
4 Years. I am a manager in a large multinational company, i came on an 2 year expat assignment from Europe … and am still here…
What’s your favourite spot/route?
The Damanyiat Islands in Oman, north of Muscat, are my favourite diving spot driving distance from Dubai, beautiful and still unspoilt coral reefs teeming with fish life and with still few divers. Don’t miss the Aquarium dive site.
What do you recommend our readers?
Go out on a Musandam dhow weekend liveaboard. This is my second favourite for diving, only couple of hours drive away to Dibba and in one hour out at sea phone and internet stops working. Just gorgeous nature and 7 dives in 2 days to go. It is an amazing trip also for non divers as the landscapes are breathtaking… and if you tell them in advance you can get your PADI certification on board with a bit of pre-studying!
