Mare Nostrum Diving Ustica

On the volcanic island of Ustica, Mare Nostrum Diving is a PADI 5 Star Dive Resort with a simple ambition: to be a reason to come back. The dive centre sits right in front of the little harbour, with reception and equipment storage on hand, and a team of three PADI instructors ready to introduce you to the Mediterranean underwater world through local eyes.
