Ciao Stefano!

Hi, I’m Stefano, and I invite you to discover Calabria…from the sea!
I grew up in the water, and the day my uncle introduced me to the world of scuba diving, I never put my regulator down again. The sea, for me, is home. It’s tradition, emotion, wonder. Every dive is a silent, profound, and unique journey. That’s why I’ve chosen to dedicate my life to sharing the marine culture of my homeland. Today, with more than 20 years of experience and a diving centre in Praia a Mare, my greatest passion is meeting new people and taking them on dives through underwater caves, walls, shipwrecks, and Calabria’s magical underwater forest of two-toned gorgonians. Whether you’re already a diver or exploring the sea for the first time, I’ll guide you through an experience that reveals a completely different side of Calabria…one that only the sea can show you.
