DIVING ACTIVITIES

DIVING DIVING AREAMARE is open in summer time, from June to October. Usually we are also open at springtime for the bank holidays of April the 25th and May the 1st.

It was our specific purpose to manage a limited number of divers in order to provide a specific service to our guests.
Our Customers are on holiday!
According to this principle we put in place all the necessary tools to guarantee a relaxing and enjoyable time. Just as an example, all guided dives are performed with a very limited number of divers and the dives are planned in order to have a large amount of available time; so we guarantee safe and comfortable dives to everybody and especially to the divers (photographers, video operators, new divers, etc.) who may actually need relax and time to prepare and perform their activity. Moreover we provide the “equipment service”, so the Customer has the opportunity to let the staff take care of his own scuba equipment (assembling, washing, carrying, storage); he needs only to be ready at the boarding point, where he’ll find everything ready on board and leave to the diving site.

SCUBA DIVING

We dive several sites, most of which are located in the marine park of “Parco Nazionale dell'Arcipelago di La Maddalena”, where we have the specific permission to go. Different sites, with richness of life and colours, allow rope, cave, rock, wreck diving. Despite of the marine diversity, all the dives have a common feature: the depth rarely is below 30 metres.

Typically the diving activity is as follows: meeting time is at 8.30 AM at the dock where the divers will find ready on board tanks, weight belts and scuba equipment; we dress up the suit and we leave to the first diving site. Once in place, we provide a specific briefing by the staff, the divers enjoy their dive, guided in groups of maximum 4-5 persons.
After the first dive, we relax on board and we have a snack while the staff is taking care of the scuba equipment with new tanks. As soon as we are ready, we move to the next diving site, and after the usual detailed briefing, we enjoy the second dive. Afterwards we go back to the harbour where we get at around 1:30 PM.
Back on the dock, the staff will take care of disassembling and washing the equipment with fresh water and of the appropriate carrying and storage, freeing the divers from the maintenance.

Thank the beautifulness and richness of the area all the dives will become an exciting experience. In order to optimize the activity, we dive in groups with a very limited number of persons (even if all the boats are equipped to carry larger number of divers and the diving centre could serve almost a double number of divers). For this reason you will have a comfortable seat on board, free available space and you will enjoy dives without crowd either on board either in the water.
Moreover for the specific dive, we divide persons in small groups of maximum 4/5 divers per diving guide, and for each group we plan a specific dive and route according to the different experience, so everybody can enjoy in safe and comfort.

SCUBA TRAINING

Here you can find PADI and SSI scuba courses.
During your course you will be trained in small groups, maximum 4 divers, in order to have the best ratio with the instructor. More over the teaching system, which includes videos, manuals, dive logs and dive tables, will let you minimize your time in the classroom allowing more time in the water developing ability and comfort.
The length of the courses is from a two days training for a Specialty Diver up to a 20 days training for a Dive master certification. During the courses, students learn the basics through class and independent study, and then they are guided in the water to provide them with the instruction necessary to gain confidence in their diving abilities.

If necessary we can provide not only SCUBA equipment, but also basic equipment as mask, fins, wet suite, weight belt.
