Limestone cliffs meeting a clear sea On the water

Dive centre on the harbour of Ventotene

Ventotene

There is more than one dive centre on the island, and this is the other one, working the same volcanic coast: rock that drops away from the shore into clear water as soon as you leave the port.

How the day goes

  1. Meet at the harbour and settle the day's site with the centre.
  2. Out along the island's coast and down the rock from there.

Where it is
