The sculpture was created by Guido Galletti after an idea of Italian diver Duilio Marcante. The statue was placed near the spot where Dario Gonzatti, the first Italian to use SCUBA gear, died in 1947. The statue is meant as a reference point for divers in distress and it has become a symbol for all scuba divers.
