THE MAY ISSUE IS ON THE NEWSSTANDS
In the May issue of PescaSub & Apnea, we’re publishing a highly topical article about the project “C4 and #tide against plastic in the sea.” #tide has developed a method to transform ocean plastic waste into high-quality pellets and yarns — and the Lombardy-based company has decided to use them to make its fins.
In our regular feature with Luigi Puretti, this month we talk about the competitive scene, with less than two months to go until the Italian Championship in Gallipoli. Another champion, Giacomo De Mola, shares the story of an outing among ocean waves with Spanish surf fishing expert José Manuel Garcia.
Our Filippo Carletti brings us a nostalgic piece titled The Leerfish and the Champion. The champion in question is Stefano Bellani, and the article recounts the time he caught a massive specimen during a national competition — and more.
For the past ten years, Marco Bardi has held the delicate role of Technical Director of the national spearfishing team. He has managed to transform the team and lead them to major results, despite many challenges. In this issue, he sums up the key moments of his tenure leading the “Azzurri.”
Luca Vallicelli, one of the strongest athletes currently competing, tells us how he catches dentex: ambush strategies, current analysis, seasonal timing, and ideal locations.
The talented Alberto Martignani, continuing his travels around Europe, shares the third chapter of his Atlantic Tour — this time covering Ireland and one of the most fascinating spots in Spain, the Bay of Algeciras. We also head to Corsica, exploring Cargèse and its surroundings in the off-season, with Massimo Repetto diving its underwater landscapes.
We wrap up with the gear test section. This month in the spotlight: the Salvimar Hero Nightmare 105 speargun and the C4 floating buoy.
Happy reading everyone.
