Situated in the Sharm El Sheikh Marina, Dive Club Italiano Centro Sub has been a fixture of the Red Sea diving scene for 45 years. The centre operates in collaboration with the Sinai Dive Club, combining long-standing local expertise with a high standard of professional service.
Whether you are looking to complete your first certification or are a seasoned diver seeking technical specialties, the centre provides a structured, professional environment. Their focus on logistical ease and digital administration ensures that your time is spent on the water rather than in paperwork.
The centre is led by a highly qualified team of instructors, with many providing assistance and instruction in Italian. This makes the centre a preferred choice for Italian-speaking divers, though English is also spoken by the staff.
Operating with a focus on sustainable and eco-responsible practices, the team maintains a professional atmosphere throughout your stay. They offer a streamlined digital approach to administration via smartphone, reducing the usual bureaucracy often found at dive operations.
The centre offers a comprehensive range of PADI training programmes, starting from the Open Water Diver course for beginners. For those looking to expand their skills, they provide Advanced Open Water Diver training.
Specialty courses are also available to tailor your diving profile, including Nitrox, Deep Diver (-40m), and Underwater Photography. The instructors are trained to guide you through these specific skill sets with precision.
The centre provides a full range of high-quality, latest-generation rental kit. To keep things organised, your equipment is managed via a personal basket system, ensuring your kit is ready for use when you are.
For those who prefer to use their own equipment, the facility is well-equipped to handle your needs. Nitrox is available on-site to support your decompression limits during extended or deeper dives.
