Silvio Pastore-Stocchi is an amateur underwater photographer. Born in Rome (Italy), in 1956. He graduated in Mathematics, at the State University of Rome. He first started diving in the Mediterranean Sea, near home, in 1976. He became a 3 star FIPSAS/CMAS diving instructor, and he worked for about twenty years as part-time instructor for several scuba diving schools in Rome. For living, he works for a Telecom Company as Senior Business Analyts. I still love to dive and create photographs and films as much as I did in the beginning.
