About

Has it been a while since you’ve been scuba diving? The Scuba Review at Sea Spirit Diving Resort is just the refresher you need. It lets you familiarise yourself with diving again so that you’re back to feeling comfortable in the underwater world in less than a day. The Scuba Review can be done during our daily dive program at the Isola Bella Marine Park, Taormina.
