The divers of the Navy train in the high mountains with the Fire Brigade

(To Marina Militare)

The divers of the Diving Operations Group (GOS) of the Navy participated in a staged dive with the divers of the Fire Brigade, to test the procedures adopted by the COMSUBIN operators in diving in the high mountains.

Simulating a search for a missing person in the waters of Lake Rotondo - located at 2.427 meters in the Vegaia Tremenesca mountain range (Trentino Alto Adige) - the most modern equipment for underwater investigation supplied to the Marina was used, including a portable high definition sonar that allows GOS divers to see underwater even in total absence of light or in case of limited visibility.

This training activity has allowed to consolidate the operational relationship with the divers of the Fire Brigade who, in recent years, have worked alongside the Navy divers in important and complex underwater operations such as the activity on the wreck of the Costa Concordia, the Torre del Port of Genoa and the shipwreck of the island of Rabbits in Lampedusa.
