Could you have any
better chance to learn diving?
During your holiday you'll learn
to dive in the clear sea of the
"Emerald Coast,"
supported by a PADI "5 Star
Gold Palm Resort": the best
you can have if you are looking
for high quality and first class service.
The collective
Beginner Courses include: full
equipment (tank, weights, mask, snorkel, wet
suit, fins, complete
regulator with octopus and
pressure gauge, jacket);
instructor for a maximum of 6 students; PADI Open Water Diver
Learning Kit (book, Log-Book,
PADI bag, certificate, sticker,
PADI plastic Recreational Dive
Table and other material); open
water dives; certification and
T-Shirt of the Orso Diving
Club.
The
practical lessons will
take place directly in
the sea, only a few
minutes of navigation
from the diving, in a
beautiful little bay
isolated from winds and
drifts and not accessible
to other boats. We reach
the bay by rubber boat
and we moor on our
private buoy. From here
we swim to the shore and
dive 2 to 5 meters deep
for the first exercises,
while for the last dives
we reach the depth of 18 meters.
Minimum 2 student required!

COURSES
- Professional
courses opportunities
The particular formula
“college”
gives you a serial
of important advantages if
compared to the normal
development of the same courses
in a town. First of all, you'll
effectuate your course directly
in the sea (and what a sea!), in a diving center of prestige,
that will involve you as a true
member of its staff.
The courses are
combined with the holiday
packages called "Blue
Weeks" - excluding the
months of July and August - at an
all inclusive cost that will give
you the opportunity to save up to
50% on the normal price list.
Practically with the same money
that you would spend for a course
in a town, you'll buy a week of
holiday on the Emerald Coast,
even effectuating 10 recreational
dives in the water of the
“Mediterranean Tropic”
