Titolo: Relitti in adiatico e non solo....







 


Visto l'interesse comune per i relitti e 
la simpatia dei ragazzi del newsgroup vi posto un poco del database sui relitti 
che ho raccattato nel tempo su internet ed in giro. Alla prossima puntata 
sperando di farvi cosa gradita. Buon fine settimana a tutti e sopratutto "buone 
bolle" a chi può buttare la testa sott'acqua! Ci si rilegge lunedi
