Diving Degli Etruschi

Diving degli Etruschi is situated in Rosignano Solvay, a location that provides direct access to some of the most interesting underwater topography in the Tuscany region. The centre is positioned to take advantage of the local marine environment, offering a mix of reef and wreck diving.

As an SSI affiliated centre, the facility serves as both a training hub and a scientific point of interest. The presence of an on-site marine biology laboratory sets this centre apart, allowing for a deeper connection to the local ecosystem through educational and scientific initiatives.

The team is composed of marine biologists, professional guides, and instructors. This scientific background ensures that the dives are not just about navigation, but also about understanding the Mediterranean habitat. They follow SSI standards with a focus on high safety protocols and personalised service.

The centre is notably inclusive, with specific attention given to organising activities for children and young divers with disabilities. Whether you are a complete beginner or a professional candidate, the approach is tailored to the individual's level and needs.

The centre offers a comprehensive curriculum through SSI, covering everything from initial entry-level experiences to professional instructor training. You can progress through standard certifications or specialise in more advanced disciplines.

For those looking to move beyond recreational diving, the centre provides technical diving courses (subacquea tecnica) and apnea training. This allows divers to expand their capabilities in both depth and breath-hold disciplines within a structured framework.

The reef structures, particularly around the Secche di Vada, are defined by their vibrant fixed life. You will find extensive colonies of sea fans and red coral decorating the rocks, creating a complex habitat for other species.

For those with an eye for detail, the area is excellent for spotting nudibranchs. These colourful molluscs are a regular feature of the local seabed and reef walls.

The marine life is diverse, with gorgonians providing essential cover for various Mediterranean species. The combination of rocky reefs and wreck sites ensures a constant presence of both sessile and mobile organisms.
