Our Trip

We're going to Italy.

Sicily feels like an endless summer. Fresh food, turquoise water, warm evenings, historic architecture, and breathtaking Mediterranean views make it one of the most beautiful destinations in Europe.

This trip is designed specifically for beginner divers who want to earn their PADI Open Water certification. You'll complete your training with Sea Spirit Diving Resort, conveniently located on the hotel property. We'll begin in the pool, build confidence and skills, and then head into the Mediterranean Sea for your open water dives. By the end of the trip, you'll be a certified diver ready to explore oceans around the world.

When we're not diving, Sicily offers incredible experiences around every corner. From charming piazzas and oceanfront cafés to stunning coastal scenery and rich Italian culture, there's always something to discover. We'll also enjoy a hands-on Sicilian cooking class with a local chef, including a market visit, wine, and traditional recipes.

This trip combines adventure, culture, incredible food, and the excitement of becoming a scuba diver in one of Italy's most beautiful coastal destinations.
