Maredentro

Tucked into the waterfront at Porto Turistico in Fano, Italy, Maredentro is a PADI Resort dive centre built around one simple idea: courses, excursions and PADI trips for everyone. Whether you're stepping into a mask for the first time or returning to log more dives, the team of three PADI instructors keeps the focus on getting people comfortable in the water.

Courses and what to expect

Training here spans PADI Scuba Diving, PADI Freediving and PADI Snorkelling, alongside Conservation programmes and PADI First Aid (EFR). The centre also runs conservation activities and operates as a dive club, so there's a community feel for those who want to keep diving beyond a single course. English is spoken, and the doors are open seven days a week, 09:00 AM to 09:00 PM.

Practicalities are covered too: the waterfront location comes with parking, plus scuba, freediving and dedicated kids' equipment rental. It's a well-rounded base for divers of every age and level looking to explore the waters off Fano.
