Odissey Diving serves as a central hub for underwater exploration in Ponza, situated conveniently within the island's historic centre. The centre operates with a dual focus, providing structured scuba training alongside boat-based excursions that reach the more remote parts of the coastline.
Whether you are looking to begin your training or want to explore the surrounding archipelagos, the centre provides access to the diverse underwater topography of the area. This includes the rugged coastlines of Palmarola and Zannone, where the marine environment remains largely untouched.
The team at Odissey Diving is composed of qualified instructors dedicated to both SSI and PADI training standards. They manage a variety of programmes, catering to those looking for their first breaths underwater as well as divers pursuing professional career paths.
Safety and professionalism are the core of their guided dives. The staff is trained to lead divers through the unique underwater landscapes of the Pontine Islands, including cave systems and coastal swim-throughs.
The training programme is comprehensive, covering all levels of certification through both SSI and PADI. Beginners can start with the Open Water Diver course, while those looking to expand their skills can progress to the Advanced Open Water Diver level.
For divers looking to move into the industry, the centre also provides professional training pathways. This ensures a continuous progression from recreational diving through to professional instructor-level qualifications.
The centre utilises a gommone for its boat trips, providing an efficient way to reach the various dive sites and coastal landmarks. These trips are designed to explore the hidden coves, marine caves, and the clearer waters surrounding Ponza, Palmarola, and Zannone.
In addition to guided diving, the gommone is used for snorkeling tours and coastal sightseeing. These excursions allow you to see the islands from the water, making them a versatile option for families or those not looking to dive.
For those travelling without their own kit, the centre offers full equipment hire. This includes all the necessary components for a complete dive rig, ensuring you can focus on the immersion rather than the logistics of transport.
Services are based in the historic heart of the island, providing a convenient starting point for your day's activities.
