Our Commitment to the Project


For ten months, we have been thinking only of the Lost Island. This virtually unknown submerged volcano appears to us during the night, in our dreams ... a beautiful obsession. From the first moment, we were overwhelmed by the legendary tales that told of an island created by an explosion only to disappear into thin air, leaving no trace. We have conducted extensive research on the history of the mysterious island and met many experts, but none of them was able to provide complete information on the Sea Bank of the Sicily Strait. A mysterious island, a submerged volcano, an unexplored dive site in the middle of a wonderful sea... our destination was decided; the Lost Island would be ours! The diving will not be easy, but together we  can complete this ambitious research project.
We had our Never Never Land, we had a foundation and direction for our research, now we just had to organize the logistics. We soon realized that this would not be an easy task. There were no boats equipped to take us to Ferdinandea island and no organized technical diving in those waters. To avoid running into violent storms, we had to plan our activities in the summer, the high season, when no one would be able to rent us a boat for our research unless we were forcing them to rob a bank! Luckily, we met the guys of the Crew Lopez.  When we told them about the Lost Island and our hopes and plans to implement the project, they understood and joined us. We had the boat!
We have created a technical diving center and a modern filling station from nothing, found our base of operations and a host hotel for our fellow adventurers, and while I'm writing this, over a ton of diving equipment and a truck full of helium and oxygen on the road, destined for the Lost Island. The organization phase is now over, and we are working day and night to define the last details before starting the project. In the last ten months we have met wonderful people who have joined us, and we could not have achieved this much without them. We started from nothing, from a dream, and now that we are ready to leave, a smile appears on our faces - we are so excited and ready to explore the unknown!
We wanted to share with you these important moments in the development of the Lost Island Project. We will continue to use our blog, Facebook page, and the DIR Explorers Forum as a means of keeping you up to date on the project’s accomplishments and our plans Now we are only missing you. Inevitably, all this comes at a price and given the exceptional nature of the project and especially the place we're going to explore, this price is not for everyone. We listened to your messages and we are committed even more to try to find a possibility to involve even more people. The Special Offer that was presented yesterday is not a marketing operation, but the result of our efforts and our willingness to take on more of the costs in order to share this endeavor. We hope that the offer puts this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity within reach for you.
We remain dedicated to all of you, our fellow explorers and adventurers.


Enjoy!
