Poggisub ASD

Based in Bologna, Poggisub ASD has been a PADI 5 Star IDC Resort since 1993, and it's also a Freedive Center and Tec Rec Center. With five PADI Instructors on the team, it runs the full range of PADI courses right up to Instructor level, and even helps students find their footing in the tourism industry.

Courses for every level

Whether you're taking your first breaths underwater or building a professional path, the schedule covers it all. Try the PADI Discover Scuba Diving programme from USD 96, move on to PADI Deep Diver or Enriched Air Diver, push into technical waters with Tec 45 and Tech 40, or go all the way with the Instructor Development Course. Emergency First Response and an Open Water referral option round out the offering.

This is very much a club with an active community. There's an onsite training pool and classroom, food and drinks, and instruction in both English and Italian — ideal for keen divers who want weekend dives in Italy alongside tropical trips.
