Situated in the coastal area of Costa Paradiso, Trinità d'Agultu e Vignola, this centre serves as a gateway to the diverse marine environments of Northern Sardinia. The centre is built on the experience of two generations of divers, providing a local perspective on the region's underwater topography.
The area is characterised by its rocky seabed, which contributes to reliable visibility and a wealth of varied habitats. Whether you are looking to complete your first certification or are progressing through professional training, the local geography offers a significant number of options for exploration.
The team is composed of five PADI professionals, including instructors and guides, dedicated to sharing their experience of the Sardinian waters. This professional structure supports a wide range of training requirements, from introductory courses to advanced technical specialities.
Communication is straightforward for international divers, as the team is proficient in Italian, English, Spanish, and French. This multilingual approach ensures that instruction and briefing details are clearly understood, regardless of your native language.
As a PADI affiliated centre, the course catalogue is extensive, covering the entire progression from Discover Scuba Diving and Open Water Diver through to Advanced Open Water Diver. For those looking to specialise, options include Deep Diver, Night Diver, and Dry Suit Diver.
Professional training is also a core component of the centre's offering, with pathways available for Divemaster, Assistant Instructor, and the Instructor Development Course (IDC). Beyond standard recreational paths, you can undertake specialities such as Digital Underwater Photographer (DUP), Diver Propulsion Vehicle (DPV) Diver, and Coral Reef Conservation.
The centre provides a full range of equipment for hire, including regulators, BCDs, and wetsuits. If you prefer to bring your own core kit, they also offer the hire of fins, masks, and snorkels.
For those requiring more specialised setups, technical equipment is available on-site. The facility is equipped to support Enriched Air Nitrox diving, and oxygen safety is maintained on-site for dive support.
The rocky bottom and diverse reef structures support a healthy variety of marine life. You will frequently encounter moray eels and various species of scorpionfish patrolling the crevices, alongside sponges and red coral that add colour to the seascape.
For those interested in macro life, the area is home to several nudibranch species. These small, colourful molluscs are a highlight for divers who enjoy searching the reef for intricate details.
