The boat slips away from the limestone cove and the headland of Capo Carbonara slides aft—granite cliffs and scrub dropping straight to clear, blue water. Salt and diesel mix in the air while instructors run final kit checks; below, Posidonia meadows and sculpted rock ledges await, lit by dappled sunlight filtering through the surface.

Reserve your spot on the Package of 4 single dives to the Capo Carbonara Marine Protected Area today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Confirm Certification and Medicals
Bring proof of Open Water (or higher) certification and any dive medical forms; the operator requires this for nitrox and guided dives.
Choose Morning Slots for Calmer Seas
Early exits (around 8:30) often mean smoother water and better visibility—book mornings if you’re sensitive to boat motion.
Respect No-Take Zones
Follow the guide’s route and avoid touching or taking anything—MPA rules protect seagrass beds and breeding grounds.
Hydrate and Plan Surface Intervals
Stay well hydrated between dives and space your dives across days to maintain safe surface intervals.
Mask, snorkel and fins
Reliable personal kit is more comfortable and hygienic than rentals for multiple dives.
Wetsuit (3–5mm)
Water temperatures vary by season; a 3–5mm suit keeps you warm for longer bottom times outside high summer.
Dive computer
Tracks no-decompression limits and surface intervals across multiple dives.
Surface marker buoy (SMB) & whistle
Adds visibility and safety during ascent and surface waits, especially on busy boating days.
