Full description

Discover the underwater wonders that lurk on the Catania coastline, with ascuba dive guided by expert instructors.

Starting from a bay with direct access to the sea, you will admire natural arches, walls, and caves rich in marine flora and fauna, for an incredibly exciting experience discovering a new world!

The dive will take place at different depths, from a minimum of 15 m to a maximum of 50 m, depending on the experience level of the group.

What we will do

The meeting point for the activity is at Camping Jonio in Catania, inside a natural bay created by lava flows many centuries ago. The instructors will welcome us, divide us into groups of the same experience level, and provide us withequipment (tanks and ballasts are included in the fee, while everything else can be hired on site).

After dressing and an introductory briefing on safety regulations, we will enter the sea directly from a ladder. The bay in which we will dive is a perfect place for scuba diving because it offers multiple dive spots, of varying nature, depth and difficulty.

Less experienced divers will be able to dive down to a maximum depth of 25 metres and will be faced with depths rich in marine life, with the possibility of spotting octopuses, sea daisies, moray eels or parrot fish. The more experienced, on the other hand, will go as deep as 50 metres in search of barracudas and eagle rays!

The dive spots will be selected by the instructors, taking into account the level of the group and the sea conditions.

Between preparation, briefing and diving, the activity lasts a total of about 1.5 hours.

Who it is aimed at

This activity is intended for divers with an Open Water Diver licence.
