A.s.d. Pro Secco - Sub Tribe

Situated at the Porticciolo Duca degli Abruzzi in Genova, SUB TRIBE ASD Pro Secco provides access to some of the most biodiverse marine environments in Liguria. The centre operates 365 days a year, ensuring that divers can find opportunities to explore the Mediterranean regardless of the season.

The centre is defined by its scientific approach to diving. Managed by Elena and Stefano, both of whom are marine biologists and instructors, the operation bridges the gap between recreational exploration and marine biology, often collaborating on scientific projects and environmental protection through organisations like Reef Check.

The team is led by Elena and Stefano, whose dual expertise as instructors and marine biologists brings a unique layer of depth to every dive. This scientific background means you aren't just observing the environment, but gaining a genuine understanding of the ecosystems you encounter.

As an SNSI affiliated centre, they provide structured training and guided dives in both Italian and English. Their focus on sustainability and environmental protection is integrated into their daily operations, making it an ideal choice for divers who prioritise marine conservation.

SUB TRIBE ASD Pro Secco offers a full range of SNSI certifications to suit all experience levels. Beginners can start with the Open Water Diver course, while those looking to expand their skills can progress to the Advanced Open Water Diver certification.

For divers looking to specialise in specific environments or equipment, they also offer the Dry Suit Diver SNSI course.

The centre provides a range of equipment for divers, including full kit hire for those travelling without their own gear. For those looking to try diving for the first time, all necessary equipment is included in the introductory sessions.

All equipment is described as controlled and updated to ensure reliability and safety for both training and exploration dives.

The underwater landscapes are defined by spectacular fixed life. You will find extensive colonies of red coral and red gorgonians decorating the walls, alongside various species of gorgonians that provide structure to the reef.

The open water and rocky outcrops are frequently visited by larger pelagics and predatory fish. You can expect to see barracuda, dentic, and groupers patrolling the depths, particularly around the more prominent pinnacles and walls.

For those interested in smaller details, the area is home to a variety of nudibranchs and brown chromis. The biodiversity of the Mediterranean is well-represented here, from the large predators to the smaller organisms inhabiting the reef structures.
