Rebreather diving in Italy

johnnied · 23rd July 2007, 20:51

OK so I've got my vision inspiration and I've got my family and I've got my long standing love affair with Italy. Ergo I need to drive to Italy (with family, sorb and unit) and do some serious diving off the coast of Liguria / Tuscany. I need to be diving in the 60 - 90 metre range so I need an operation that will support that - and they need to be able to offer me this diving in the summer period.

Any recommendations would be warmly appreciated.

Hi, try with Polo Sub Genova.
They are Rebreather friendly and one of the guys is also RB Inspiration and Evolution Instructor.
They have a diving center in Genova (near the Acquarium) and on the Elba Island, Marciana Marina, Tuscany.

Hope this help

Best,
Nad

Thankyou, I'll give them a call.

In the meantime, has anyone had any experience of portofinodivers.com?

No, but from their site i can read that they are GUE/DIR, they are really expensive for the Italian standard, they are in one of the most expensive places in Italy and where is most difficult to park a car.

I went diving in this are with Polo Sub and i was completely satisfied. They know what is a rebreather and they can provide scrubber and bottles.

Another solution was Gino Sardi's "techdive", but they are less rebreather friendly, they are more an OC tech diver center.
