Full description
Dive the waters of Catania with a professional instructor. You will discover magnificent dive spots, such as the Canyon with its long rock walls covered in false coral and sponges.
You can choose between asingle dive or a double dive, which involves a longer marine exploration at other dive sites.
You must have an Open Water Diver certification to participate.
What we will do
We will meet at the diving centre in Aci Castello. Here the instructor will be waiting for us, with whom we will walk to the chosen dive site. Once on the seashore, the instructor will provide us withdiving equipment (included) and give us a short briefing on the activity. There are mainly four dive spots: the Lido Wall, the Presepe, the Praghe and the Canyon.
The Presepe, for example, is characterised by rocks similar to tall spires that stand out in the water for more than 10 metres. In this part of the seabed there is also a small lava cave that houses the statuettes of Jesus, Joseph and Mary. During the dive we can encounter groupers, lobsters and various species of fish.
The Canyon is also beautiful. We will dive between two long rock walls that run parallel for about thirty metres. The walls are covered with sponges and false coral, and rich marine life can be seen between the cracks.
When booking, we will have the choice between asingle or double dive. In the first case, we will return to the diving centre after about an hour. The stay underwater will be about 45 minutes.
If we opt for thedouble dive, on the other hand, we will be able to continue and reach other spots for a total of two hours of underwater experience. At the end we will always return to the diving centre.
