Pollo Diving offers three core experiences: Immersione Pomeridiana con aperitivo (afternoon dive departing at 14:30 with an onboard aperitif and a minimum of two participants), Immersioni - singola/doppia per subacquei certificati (morning single or double dives for certified divers), and Escursione Snorkeling La Maddalena (personalized snorkeling trips with complimentary snacks and water). Morning dive options are designed for certified divers and allow choice between one or two dives in a single outing.
Operating from Porto Pollo, Pollo Diving emphasizes local navigational knowledge of dive sites, sheltered anchorages, and seasonal sea conditions around Sardegna. Guided briefings, equipment protocols, and pre-dive checks are provided for diving and snorkeling activities. Certified divers are asked to present credentials for immersioni - singola/doppia per subacquei certificati. Safety, clear communication, and respect for marine environments are integral to the company’s approach. Boat-based aperitifs and included refreshments add a leisure element to outings.
