This and all other photos by author Luciano Abriata.

Under European waters

Shots snorkeling or SCUBA diving in the European shores of the Mediterranean sea and the Atlantic Ocean.

Perhaps you saw some of my underwater shots in previous stories:

Well, it is time for a couple of stories featuring my best shots under Europe’s salty waters. OK, not very professional photos, but illustrative enough of the underwater experiences and of the life and geology you can expect in these seas.

Syracusa, Italy

Yes, that’s the city of Greek origin in the Sicilian southeast. A gem of a city, just like the remains of ancient Greek temples that you can find in many other spots around the island.

This statue was a monument of a local professional swimer (maybe diver too? I don’t recall the full story) to his daughter:

Sardegna, Italy

Probably my favorite place in Europe, the “endless island” -as advertised by the local government- offers an endless variety of beaches. And very nice fauna!

L’estartit, Spain

A city prepared for divers in the Mediterranean, right on the coast of Catalunya, north of Barcelona.

See the octopus in this next photo?

Lanzarote, Spain, one of the Canary Islands in the Atlantic ocean off the African coasts
