Vittorio Bianchini
Scuba instructor and Diving owner
Vittorio Bianchini dedicated his whole life to the sea, a true love started in his teenager years, that is still part of his everyday life.
As an expert scuba diver, known for his never ending curiosity and enthusiasm, he’s known for his studies and contributions regarding innovations on breathing systems in extreme environments and for the experimentation of new techniques and diving gas mixes.
He collaborated with ESA and is Instructor and Evaluator for WASE DivEducation, a diver training organization created with SECTOR Spa. In 1992 he started a technology research project for OCEANIC UK to study closed circuit breathing devices.
He’s been in charge of underwater safety for the first National Geographic and BBC missions in which camera operators used rebreather devices.
As a diving instructor with an impressive, long-time experience he developed new training paths for newbies and champions, explorers and scientists alike.
During his career, he met renowned professionals with whom he shared not only credits and scientific contents, but also extreme adventures and remarkable discoveries all around the world.
That’s why in 2016, he created Premio Atlantide: an award for those who protect and safeguard the planet sea.
