Images from the deep

Images say more than words. These photos were taken by Marcello Di Francesco during real dives in the caverns and sites of the Portofino Marine Reserve.

Marcello is an award-winning underwater photographer — Sony Awards, Underwater Photographer of the Year, Aqualung Ocean Ambassador — who works with the leading international magazines in the field. His images capture the reality of sidemount diving in overhead environments: the light filtering through the rock, the precision of trim, the focus.

These aren’t studio shots. They’re real moments, in real environments.
