Activity description
Try scuba diving and discover the underwater world of Ustica, Sicily, with a professional instructor. Open to beginners from 10 years old.
Located off the northern coast of Sicily, Ustica is a small island of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Thanks to its unspoiled nature, volcanic origin and transparent waters, Ustica is a popular scuba diving destination. Reaching the island is easy, all you have to do is hop on a ferry from Palermo. Get ready for an unforgettable scuba diving experience on the island!
Your instructor will wait for you in Ustica and brief you about the activity. This scuba diving adventure is designed for first-timers, so the first part will be dedicated to teaching you the fundamentals about the scuba diving gear (wetsuit, mask, fins and tank) and the gestures. Once everyone is ready, you and your instructor will hop on the boat and enjoy a lovely 10-minute drive to the scuba diving point around Ustica. Hand-in-hand with your instructor you'll explore one of Sicily's most beautiful scuba diving spots! During this 25-minute dive, you'll reach 6 metres in depth and try the unforgettable weightless feeling that only a scuba diving adventure can give you. Then, you'll get on the boat and return to Ustica.
This scuba diving experience welcomes small groups (up to 8), allowing the instructors to take care of each participant and ensure a safe and fun adventure.
Embark on this incredible journey with your friends and explore Ustica's underwater world. Make your stay in Sicily unforgettable by trying scuba diving for the first time. Book your spot now!
