They noticed him coming out of his den, going to meet the divers. For the divers of the Sinnai Club who have really made a lot of diving and experiences, it was a moment of pleasant relaxation. The octopus, "octopus vulgaris", caressed them with its tentacles, before moving away after releasing its "ink" and disappearing back into its den among the rocks from where it had come out just before.
«A pleasant encounter – said the president of the Sub Sinnai Club, Paride Cardia – immortalized by our photographer Stefano Perra at a depth of about 27 meters» in the waters of Genn'e Mari, in Torre delle Stelle, in the Sinnai area. All in a period like this, in which this species of cephalopod molluscs reproduces and approaches the coasts. Many divers who have already taken to attending clubs and diving in the area in search of wonderful diving.
«The protected marine area of Capo Carbonara di Villasimius - continues Cardia - is certainly a pearl. It is part of a wider naturalistic system, characterized by enchanting underwater landscapes where this time granite is the master, in its groupings of boulders and slabs, an ideal habitat for white bream, octopus and moray eels, but also for croakers, scorpion fish and cicadas sea, present in the darkest and most hidden ravines and disturbed only by the torches of the divers».
«Even the colors - adds the president of the Sub Sinnai Club - are a characteristic of this extraordinary corner of Sardinia, they originate in the endless walls of " parazoanthus " or sea daisies, in the very colorful gorgonians, which recall red coral, in the anemones and in the sponges, organisms that find a solid foundation on which to grow in the gigantic granite boulders and in the plates of the numerous and spectacular wrecks of the Second World War that house the gulf of Cagliari. The Loredan, the Isonzo, the Romagna and many others, which from a place of death have become a place of life for groupers, dentex, amberjack, barracuda, conger eels, clouds of damselfish and many other species».
Again: «It is not difficult to come across, especially in this period, shoals of small tuna that still today follow ancient routes, once blocked only by tuna traps, such as that of Is Mortorius, in the Municipality of Quartu, of which the memory still remains today and some old walls.'
