#1 - Punto! Diving & Friends

(54)

"After the magical moment when my eyes opened into the sea, it was no longer possible for me to see, think, live as before ..." (Jaques Cousteau)

We were born as an Amateur Sports Association in December 2011 from the love for the sea and for the diving of friends driven by the desire to let everyone know the most beautiful things on Earth… .. the Sea!

We are an association of divers but also and above all a "big family" !!!

We organize PADI diving courses and recreational dives in the Marine Protected Area of Portofino and on some wrecks of our sea and beyond ... we often find ourselves in the office just to meet, to study, to pass the time, exchange opinions, advice and experiences on the dives carried out or simply for a snack - even when the sea conditions advise us to stay ashore. When the season allows it, there is no better way to end a day of fun and aggregation with a splendid barbecue together.

The staff is made up of the founders, managers, instructors, assistants and dive masters, affiliated with PADI or other recognized didactics and all our diving and non-diving members who want to spend their free time in the Association.

Since 2002 our philosophy is to provide the most demanding diver with a very personal dive experience with maximum 10 divers per boat, 5 divers per instructor or divemaster, to guarantee the highest standards of comfort before, during and after the dive. What's more, we insist on the same level of training and/or experience for all those taking part in the dive team, in order to optimise the choice of dive site and assure a safe, extensive and enjoyable dive for all. All dive trips are led by local instructors who have in-depth knowledge of the different habitats of the Portofino promontory and are dedicated custodians of its treasures. No matter the distance and time it takes to get there, Susanna and Bruno will focus on taking you the very best dive sites and the many surprising wrecks Portofino has to offer.
