Dive center

Mare Nostrum Diving Ustica

PADI 5 Star Dive Center

We know that we’re just one of the many places where you can satisfy your pleasure of scuba diving. 

Although, we are concerned to be unique in our genre. We want to be a reason to come back! Ustica is a fabulous dive spot, one of the best in the Mediterranean. With our organisation and services, we would love to satisfy your pleasure of scuba diving, that perfect dive experience that meets your expectations, and little bit more. We can arrange the whole trip - your flight, sea connections, accommodation - in case you get stressed thinking to do it by yourself! Our dive centre is located just in front of the little harbour, for reception and equipment storage.

We arrange dive excursions throughout full-day diving , single dives or double-tank dives.

In low season we are fit out with a RIB, to accommodate maximum 12 divers (in normal period). It is equipped with an original tank rack and a secure ladder in order to allow easy exit out of water. Space on board is suitable for divers to bring along there own equipment and some personal belongings, and comfortable during navigation.

But our flagship is the Linosa Sunshine Day Cruiser, a boat especially planned and equipped for full-day diving, with comfort on board and relaxation for a limited number of guests. Dive points are reachable within maximum 20 minutes navigation, without any rush nor speed.

In all, we may have 3 vessels available to offer you the best comfort and customise your scuba or snorkelling experience. The biggest fleet in Ustica Island!  And the only PADI Dive Resort with a Dive Boat. 

Snorkelling naturalistic tours, scuba experience programs and dive courses are run by a team of instructors, who will introduce you into the beautiful underwater world of the Mediterranean through local eyes, and guide you in discovering the wonders of a precious environment.
