You’ll get to learn valuable skills, dive to a maximum depth of 12 meters, and receive a Scuba Diver Certification after finishing!

Under the supervision of a professional diver, you’ll get to explore the open water environment around Marina di Gioiosa Ionica, diving deep into the magic wonders below the Ionian Sea! Your course includes 8 lessons (3 theoretical lessons + 5 practice dives) and depending on your availability, you can choose from:
