What we will do
The meeting is in Aci Castello, in the province of Catania. Here we will meet theinstructor and the rest of our small group (up to 6 participants). Afterwards, we will set off in the direction of the marine protected area.
We will sail along the coast of Aci Castello to reach the dive site. Once reached, we will have a briefing about the activity and will be givendiving equipment (included in the participation fee). At this point we will be ready to dive!
After diving into the sea, we will discover the wonderful lava seabed of the Gulf of Catania. We will see basalt columns, ancient lava flows, underwater canyons, volcanic faults, and even the wrecks of World War II.
Octopuses, seabreams, sponges and gorgonians are just some of the aquatic species we will encounter. The depth of the dive, as well as the chosen dive site, depend on our experience and the instructor's choices.
The experience lasts a total of four hours and ends with the return to Aci Castello.
