Acquazzurra

Diving in and around Rome runs deep at Acquazzurra, a center that has been part of the underwater world since 1985. Over those decades it has grown into more than a shop — a community of experts and enthusiasts who treat every diver's experience as their own, from first breath underwater to seasoned exploration.

Courses and what to expect

As a PADI 5 Star IDC center with 12 PADI Instructors, Acquazzurra runs training for every level. Newcomers can work through the PADI Open Water Diver Course (from USD 467, around 5 days), while certified divers step up with the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course (from USD 359, roughly 3 days). Enriched air (Nitrox) is available for those extending their bottom time.

Local diving centers on Lago Bracciano a Trevignano, and the center backs it all up with air fills, free Wi-Fi, and its own laboratory for equipment overhauls and repairs. With service in Italian, it suits anyone in the Rome area — from complete beginners to divers looking to keep their kit and skills in top shape.
