Nautica

Located in the Porto Turistico of Santa Maria Navarrese, Nautica Sea Service has been a fixture of the local nautical community since 1984. The centre operates as a multi-service hub, combining a professional dive centre with a long-established shipyard and boat rental service. This integration means they have a deep, practical understanding of the local waters and the logistics required to reach the best sites.

From their base in Sardinia, you can access the diverse underwater topography of the Golfo di Orosei. The area is defined by dramatic coastal cliffs, complex cave systems, and several significant wreck sites that are easily reached by their fleet of semi-rigid boats. Whether you are looking for a structured training programme or a guided excursion to explore the coastline, the centre provides a professional foundation for your diving.

Nautica Sea Service operates as a PADI affiliated centre, providing a structured environment for both recreational divers and those looking to progress through their certification levels. The team focuses on maintaining small group sizes to ensure safety and a high standard of instruction during every excursion.

Because the centre also functions as a shipyard, there is a strong emphasis on technical reliability and maritime expertise. They manage everything from daily dive logistics to complex boat maintenance and lifting services, ensuring that the fleet used for excursions is always in peak condition.

As a PADI affiliated centre, Nautica Sea Service offers a complete ladder of training, starting from the Open Water Diver course for those new to the sport. They also provide various other certifications to help you progress through the standard diving levels.

Their training programmes are designed to suit different experience levels, whether you are completing your initial qualifications or looking to refine your skills in more specific environments like the local caves or wreck sites.

The centre operates a fleet of five semi-rigid boats, each designed to handle the coastal conditions of the Sardinian sea. These vessels typically carry between 6 and 10 divers per trip, allowing for a more personal experience on the water.

The boats are powered by 40 HP and 115 HP motors, providing the necessary reliability for navigating the Golfo di Orosei. These trips are organised around a schedule of two immersions in the morning and one in the afternoon, allowing you to maximise your time exploring the local reefs and wrecks.

On shore, the centre is well-equipped to handle the needs of both local divers and those travelling to the area. They offer a full range of equipment hire, including regulators, wetsuits, and fins, ensuring you can dive even if you haven't travelled with your own kit.

For gas supply, the centre uses a Bauer compressor to ensure reliable and clean cylinder fills. This professional-grade equipment is central to their daily operations, providing the necessary support for all scheduled immersions.

The diving in this area is primarily conducted via semi-rigid boats departing from the marina. The local topography, ranging from deep walls to sheltered bays, means that conditions can vary depending on the specific site being visited.
