insomma noi fotosub siamo i meglio

Yeah!

Grande! Non ho mai praticato la fotosub, ma da (ormai ex) apneista sono sempre stato dell'idea che, per una serie di motivi, sia uno dei generi pi� difficili in assoluto.

Sono contento che la fotosub abbia visto riconosciute le proprie qualit�, anche artistiche.
