About
This distinguished sports association, based in Rome, is a beacon for those seeking to explore the underwater world with certified expertise. It operates under the rigorous standards of Scuba Schools International (SSI), offering a complete spectrum of recreational diving courses. From introductory programs designed for absolute beginners to advanced and professional-level training, every course is meticulously crafted to ensure divers possess the knowledge and skills for safe and conscious exploration.
The association also champions inclusivity, providing specialized courses for individuals with disabilities and the visually impaired, certified by the Handicapped Scuba Association (HSA). For those with a penchant for technical diving, advanced training through TDI is also available, pushing the boundaries of underwater exploration. Beyond scuba, a strong emphasis is placed on freediving (apnea) education, allowing individuals to connect with the marine environment in a unique, breath-hold capacity.
While the association's home base is in Rome, its practical training often extends to the stunning waters of nearby Bracciano Lake, offering a serene and accessible environment for skill development. This provides a fantastic opportunity for students to hone their abilities in a controlled setting before venturing into the open sea. The commitment is to foster not just divers, but responsible stewards of the underwater environment, equipped with the confidence and competence to navigate its depths safely and with profound respect.
