drama in the province of Grosseto, ANTS ISLANDS
Milan , August 10, 2014 – 15:32
PORTO SANTO STEFANO (Grosseto) – Sull’Emery Island, the thirteen ABC sub-meter Diving club of Telamon, there is a great desire to smile at 10am. Clear, calm sea, gentle breeze. The route is one that every diver wants: Ants of Grosseto, three tiny uninhabited islands 11 miles off the coast, in the Natural Park of Maremma, colors from the tropics, but where you need to be especially cautious and experts. Those depths of hundred meters become relentless, if you search for adventure, if you can not stop. They, the “Umbrian boys,” as they call themselves joking, are recorded at the diving club Thalassa Perugia and have learned the secrets of the sea, the pitfalls, the traps. They are cheerful, joking, but do not forget to check out the equipment, probably rented. Cioli Enrico, 37, Gianluca Trevani, 35, health care workers, familiar with those waters; with them are instructors Marco Barbacci, 35 years old and Fabio Giaimo, 57, who is also a physician anesthetist well known in Perugia. The quartet of friends, Barbacci only be saved: the other three companions will be fished lifeless at the height of an excursion turned into a tragedy.

The three sub Umbrian died after a blood clot? Immersion
In front of the Ants “Emery” moored at 10.40. “They started diving after a few minutes – says still in shock Montrone Andrea, one of the leaders of the diving center who was with them on the boat -. He was an independent and experienced, he did not need us. Shortly after I dive too, and only when I go back to the surface I am faced with the tragedy that has just accomplished. Unexplained: were in the water by less than twenty minutes, can not be embolism, perhaps an illness. ” Floating on the sea surface two bodies: one of Giaimo, lifeless, and Barbacci, breathing heavily and fainted shortly after being recovered by a rescue boat: hospitalized in Orbetello will then be discharged in the evening. A few minutes later, about a hundred yards away, resurface the lifeless bodies of Gianluca Trevani and Henry Cioli.
The first emergency call to the harbor master of the Holy Stefano is the 11.50 but strangely the warning is only for one person. “There is a serious sub to the ants will soon send a lookout,” reports a man. After a few minutes, and sos multiply, calls, first to the wounded, and then for the other two sub. An unusual circumstance, according to investigators, which could open up different scenarios. The first is to embolism ‘collective’, triggered by a return to the surface too fast to rescue a comrade in trouble, but there are special incongruous. Barbacci said he saw in Giaimo difficulty, beat his fist to his chest, and he had tried to help him, but not to have noticed other friends. That have been found, done for now unexplained, not in the same part of the sea. Finally, another anomaly, distress calls were followed over time speaking before a diver in difficulty and then the other. Almost certainly, the four friends of Perugia were about thirty feet deep, judged by experts outside the threshold of total security, but allowed by their patent. “The more you go deep – explain the Harbour – everything can become more complicated and must be rigorously observed times for surfacing.”
But the prosecutor’s office in Grosseto is also investigating the status of the equipment (it is currently investigating if they had been leased by the diving center or were the property of the victims), which could cause illnesses to the sub. Hypothesis more remote than embolism, but that investigators want to ascertain. Decisive in this case, will be the eventual autopsy on the bodies of the three sub dead.
