R.Sub

Set in the spa town of Montecatini, Italy, R.Sub is a PADI 5 Star Dive Center with a distinctive character: it grew out of a historic diving equipment shop, and today combines that retail heritage with an attached school and full diving center. It's a place that suits divers who value gear knowledge as much as time in the water.

Courses and what to expect

Training here is led by a PADI Instructor, with the PADI Enriched Air Diver course offered from USD 239 over approximately one day — a natural next step for certified divers wanting to extend their bottom time. An onsite classroom and retail shop back up the learning, and the center caters to Nitrox and Trimix divers alike.

R.Sub keeps a broad rental range, from 7mm wetsuits and dive computers to steel, aluminium and large 15L cylinders, plus kids' equipment for younger divers. Staff work in English and Italian, making it an approachable base for visiting divers exploring the waters of Italy.
