English Italian Scuba Dictionary

[Lulubelle]

Hey, I know that many will not be as excited by my latest find on the Italian scuba forum, but it is a dictionary specific to scuba!!!!! Those words are not in a standard dictionary and what good is it to speak a little Italian without being able to talk about your favorite sport/hobby!

Inglese-Italiano - Dizionario Inglese-Italiano

I made my first post the that forum yesterday, just an introduction. Used the word for spearfishing instead of scuba diving apparently and generated a few repliesas spearfishing with a tank is not legal there!!! Only when freediving. I have a lot to learn!

PS-I ALMOST titled this thread Miss Scuba part 2 but I'm feeling nice

Are you Italian or just hoping to dive there some day?

Not in the least bit Italian although my appearance would suggest it. I speak a bit. Now that I am not there quite as often as I used to be, I found myself losing much of what I knew so I am actually actually studying Italian for the first time.

I wasn't able to speak about my favorite new sport/hobby of scuba because none of my non diving Italian friends knew the English and therefore the Italian words.

I joined an Italian scuba forum both to practice my language skills, learn the scuba specific language, and also get an idea where Europeans are diving so that next time I go visit friends in Italy I can add on a little dive trip.

The scuba dictionary was a nice find today~

I lived in Italy for several years way back when, I was a bit too young to dive so I mostly did freediving in the Adriatic, Mediterranean, and the Aegean when we in Greece for a summer. I loved it over there.

Well shoot, are you a girl? Then we should plan us a little trip back to these places to dive!

Yup, I'm a girl, a middle aged partnered off one, so no fun trips to Italy in the works for me.

I hope you get over there to dive soon, I remember some awesome places off the Amalfi coast, so many sea urchins and other sea life it was like a dense aquarium!

One of my dive buddies is a married lady with an 11 year old, but she protects a little bit of dive time for herself as her marito does not dive.

Most of my friends are in the North, but traveling is never a problem! I TRY to see one new place each time I go but it is hard as the friends are in Firenze, Milano, Genoa, Como, Modena, and Vicenza and I hate to miss seeing them when I am there.

Do you know how the diving/sea life is in Liguria? That is my favorite region on land. Seems a lot of them also go to the Maldives and the Red Sea as it is cheap to get there for them.

No, I don't know that area well. I lived in Aviano and we spent a lot of our time in Lignano, and that's all sandy bottom.
