PADI Discover Scuba Diving in Portofino: Your Underwater Adventure Begins Here

Have you ever dreamed of breathing underwater? Of floating weightlessly in a world of silence, color, and wonder? Our PADI Discover Scuba Diving program is not just a trial run; it’s a true adventure to uncover Portofino’s best-kept secret: its underwater paradise.

This is no ordinary first dive. It’s a complete experience, designed to guide you step-by-step, from the tranquility of your first bubbles to the thrill of a real boat dive in the heart of the Portofino Marine Protected Area. An unforgettable journey, even if you’ve never worn a mask before.

Your Adventure: A Two-Step Journey

Our experience is designed to give you the ultimate adventure in complete safety and fun. Here’s how your day with us will unfold:

A Relaxed and Fun Start

You’ll meet your personal PADI Instructor who, with a short and simple briefing, will reveal the secrets of breathing underwater and show you the equipment. No complicated lessons, just the essential information to make you feel comfortable right away.

First Dive: Building Confidence

Your first dive will take place in calm, shallow water, directly from the shore. Here, with the constant support of your instructor, you’ll practice some basic skills, get comfortable with the gear, and experience the incredible sensation of moving freely underwater.

Second Dive: The Boat Adventure!

Now that you’re ready, it’s time for the main event! We’ll board one of our boats to reach one of the most spectacular spots in the Portofino Marine Protected Area. You’ll dive into a natural aquarium, guided by your instructor to a maximum depth of 12 meters (40 feet), floating among schools of fish and discovering the vibrant marine life of the Mediterranean.
