hi jcolly!
as you say there are not much ccr divers in italy but if you want some buddy contact Aldo Ferrucci at
www.bubnotbub.com he often organizes diving trips for ccr divers in Sardegna.I speak to him today at a trade show in rome and he told me that he had released some megalodon certifications in sardegna some months agò,maybe you can find a buddy!
today at the trade show i saw the new copis meg beautiful and my trainer(as i said in the presentation)uses a megalodon,really a wonderful apparatus!
