Italian term or phrase: divergente paramine
I know paramine is paravane. It's just "divergente" that's puzzling me.

Si trova a parete in posizione verticale un divergente paramine: un galleggiante disposto verticalmente dalla forma simile ad un siluro con due elementi stabilizzatori ai lati.

deflector paravane


Explanation:
You will find a few patents that mention "deflector paravane" or "paravane deflector". Very low confidence: I do not work in the field and the number of hits is small.
