Many questions :) 200 km south of Naples there is Palinuro: lot of caves. Wrecks: Go here to find wrecks. It's one of italian best web sites about wrecks (in english too) Wetsuit: I can just say that from November to May a drysuit can be better, after a wetsuit can be ok. But it depends...

There are so many locations that should be better to give some information about your skill and preferences. Do you like dives in shallow or deep water? No deco? Wrecks? Caves? Warm water? And so on. Just talking about Italy, there are many many locations to choose in sicily, or sardinia...

Elba is great !! :) A.

I never dived in Marina di Gioiosa Ionica, but I easily found a dive shop there. The main question is: are you going to drive a car there? If you'll drive a car, my suggestion is to go to Scilla, close to Reggio Calabria, (about 80 km from Gioiosa Ionica), to dive in one of the best dive...

Well, my first suggestion is to keep far from train. By car (and then by ferry) you can be in about 3 hours on the Elba shores. Elba is great: wonderful dives. You'll take a little bit more to get to Portofino. Probably the best solution is to reach Rapallo, and contact the Abyss D.C. to dive...

150 dives (or more) in Garda lake: what do you like to know? Ciao, A.

Mostly correct. Obviously (;)) I suggest Italy too. Italy has about 7000 km of coast, and it has really many diving sites. There are marine parks, lot of wrecks (from -18 to -100 mt.), the best caves in mediterranean sea (I'm thinking about Alghero in Sardinia and Palinuro, close to...

Hi. If you're thinking about dives in the canals, ... better you forget it: 1. It's not legal 2. It's useless (nothing to see) 3. It's unsafe When you are in Venice you can dive in the north adriatic sea: the area close to Venice is rich of wrecks, and even though the fondal is flat...

You mentioned three wonderful towns. I'm sorry you don't like Venice: when I want to breath beauty, I go to Venice and I walk in the small streets (the 'calli'), far from the main stream of tourists moving from the railways station to S.Marco, passing through Ponte di Rialto. Take a walk in...

Elba is a very good place for diving, and I know it well, as we go there every year, at the end of the courses. You can find good diving center everywhere, in the island. So probably it's better to choose the location and then to find a DC close to your hotel or whatever. As a first...

Tegnue di Chioggia - onlus Guide to the Tegnue di Chioggia Wrecks (this page is in italian, about the wrecks: videos and images are interesting, independently from the language) I've diver friends in Vicenza: should you want to join us for a dive, in Garda Lake too ;), it's not so...

If the problem is the temp ... forget the lakes: no warm water in lakes (in Italy). You can easily get to Chioggia in about 1 hour, to dive the "Tegnue" or other wrecks (Evdokia, Quintino Sella, .... ) in the North Adriatic Sea: in this season the water is warm. The visibility can vary a lot...

I forgot an info. The best dives in Mediterranean sea (at least in Italy) are generally from -25 mt to -45 mt. In this range you can find almost every form of mediterranean life. So an experienced diver can enjoy the sea better than a novice. It's very different in Red Sea, for example...

A brief (and personal) list just to start, by italian region (further details can come), Sicily: Ustica, that's a small island close to north Sicily coast. Close to Sicily there are a lot of islands that deserve attention: Egadi Isles, Lampedusa Isle, Linosa Isle. Sardinia: a lot of...

Highly incomplete. The site doesn't mention Liguria (Portofino, 5 Terre, Savona, ...), Tuscany (Isola d'Elba, Argentario, Isola del Giglio, Giannutri, ......), only Anzio in Lazio (Ponza, Ventotene, Tor Paterno, ...), Campania (Naples, Sorrento, Capri, Positano, Ischia, ...), Calabria (Capo...

Just italian: I'm not so presumptuous. :) My idea was that you were joking: if you know Italy, simply from a geographical point of view, it comes out obviously that you can dive a lot in Italy. Then, the "brief overview of diving" in Italy is a little ... too general. If you ask...

In this case perhaps is better to forget the Banco di S. Croce (the top of the pinnacle is about 10 mt, and the bottom is about 50 mt.). Isola d'Elba has dives for every level (in this case too the best is under 30 mt.), but an OW can find a lot of dropoff and cliff in the range 0 - 18 mt...

Well, I don't know the diver operators you have in mind. I can suggest another good operator (I know them) in Marciana Marina, Isola d'Elba: PoloSub / Elba Diving Center. Consider that from S. Gimignano to Isola d'Elba it takes at least 3.5 hours, travelling by car and by ship. It's not so...

ROTFL: Italy is a peninsula in the middle of Mediterranean sea. The diving in Italy is "annamo, scennemo, vedemo, risalimo .... insomma, famo come cazzo ce pare" (cit. il Duca). I do hope it's a brief overview. :rofl3: A.

I do hope it too. Are you going to Italy, this summer? And where do you plan to go (if I can ask, of course)? A.
