About the One Day Discover Dive Trip to Ustica Island:
The PADI Discover Scuba Diving program will be run in our secondary location on Ustica Island, the First Marine Protected Area of Italy! So in addition to your first experience, you will enjoy the amazing underwater environment of Ustica.
Ustica Island is 36 marine miles from Palermo, so you will need to get the hydrofoil to reach the island. Purchase your ticket for the early morning hydrofoil (07:00 , check timetable on website www.libertylines.it) which will bring you to Ustica in 1,5 hours.
You will meet us at the embarking dock - usually at 09:00 - ready to go for the One Day Discover Scuba Excursion. The equipment will be ready on board for you, so no need to go to our shop previously.
You will embark aboard and go for the full-day trip which includes the Discover Scuba Diving program and surface interval. The boat (or RIB) might stay moored in a bay or navigate shortly for pickup services, but you have time to relax, snack, sunbath or swim in the meanwhile!
In the afternoon you'll be back at harbour and eventually have time for extra refreshment at the bar or go for a walk around the village.
Afternoon hydrofoil will bring you back to Palermo (17:00 - 18:00).
The dive sessions will be arranged by dive boat or by RIB
Suggestion: bring a snack or packet lunch with you, the day on board might be long!
