Great diving week
We had a great diving week in Marina di Gioiosa Jonica which fully met our expectations. Beautiful dive sites (Scilla!) and impressive wrecks. Even when the weather got really bad, Francesco found a place to dive. We saw a lot of Calabria and got to know great restaurants in the mountains (now I know what Italian food really means...😋) Francesco and Giorgia, you did wonderfully, thank you!

Very successful first introduction to diving.
Our three teenage daughters did a test dive here. Roberta and her team did a fantastic job. A first clear explanation in English and then they went into the depths from the beach, each with a personal guide. A fourth diver came along to take photos and videos, which we received by email the same day. Perfect service and a great experience that we highly recommend. Many thanks Roberta and team!
