The PADI/DAN Snorkeler Research Operator  training programme is for snorkelers who wish to participate proactively in research by learning to record data from Citizen Science in Marine Biology following a specific methodology of collection.

The big fishes are no more the star of the stage but give rise to tiny creatures, crustaceans and molluscs to take the spotlight. The scenario is reversed and the species hiding during daylight become the predators of the night while clear waters and starry skies makes it even more charming.

The plunge into the blue par excellence at Secchitello Reef: with its peak at 25 metres, it has always been regarded as a difficult dive limited only to the experts, as it's a rocky complex that emerges from a seafloor 60 meters deep, with gorgeous corals and pelagic fish silhouettes.

Descend into the blue at Banco Apollo, where depth meets open water and pelagic encounters. A deep off-shore dive for experienced divers seeking exposure and exploration.

Discover Ustica’s deep cavern dives at Grotta dei Gamberi and Grotta dei Cirri, where depth, shadow and light shape a unique underwater landscape for experienced divers.
