APT Group

Tucked into Pavia, the APT Group is a PADI 5 Star Dive Resort — and at the moment the only PADI Resort in Pavia and its province. It's home to the ASD Diver Team Academy, which has been operating in Pavia since 2015, born out of years of experience in the diving sector. The academy is built around promoting scuba diving and every activity connected to it.

Courses and training

Learning sits at the heart of what happens here. A team of 4 PADI Instructors runs diving courses and PADI programs, supported by an onsite training pool, an onsite classroom, and an aquarium/deep pool for skills practice. Air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, and parking round out the facilities, and the centre operates as a dive club.

Sessions are conducted in Italian, making this a natural fit for divers in the Pavia area who want to start out, build confidence, or progress through structured PADI training close to home.
