Training, but also the use of experimental methods for the search for Martina Lattuca, the forty-nine-year-old who disappeared a week ago after having wandered along a path on the Sella del Diavolo .
The operations were carried out this morning by specialist divers from the Cagliari Fire Brigade, who sent men and boats to carry out training in the waters where the search for the woman has been concentrated in recent days.
Given the negative results of the inshore search, methods and equipment were applied to set up a search on a different seabed, further south than where the personal effects, namely the shoes, were found.
One is instrumental, in shallow waters up to 20 meters deep, allowing for a scan of the seabed, revealing both its structure and any objects being sought. The other is underwater, using draglines and an underwater compass that allow for long distances to be covered while maintaining the correct pre-established orientation. An underwater route was followed, parallel to the coastline, for a thorough inspection of the seabed that could be observed.
The training was successful, the command announced, but in the stretch of sea explored, it yielded negative results in the search for Martina.
The specialists of the Cagliari Fire Brigade Command, currently composed of 26 units, operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. They can be employed in rescue operations in all aquatic scenarios, both in inland waters and at sea, including regional and national levels, in the Helicopter Rescue (they are part of the Fire Brigade helicopter crew), Speleo-submarine and Integrated Deep-Sea Underwater Instrumental Research (IDS) structures, which involve the use of Sonar and ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle).
