We recently did two trips with Orso Diving Club
Boat Trip to Cala Coticcio (Tahiti)
Dolphin Watching at Capo Figari
Both were brilliant and good value for money, they collected us from our hotel both times at no charge which was very useful when we were some distance away
The family company are very friendly and knowledgeable, and the trips were well planned and enjoyable.
We saw a family of dolphin's on one of the trips which the boat stopped for us to admire, the snorkeling stops were great with lots to see and they provided wet-suits for those who needed them
Thanks so much for making our holiday so enjoyable

Greatest Diving experience and incredibly nice people. We rented all gear at the spot and felt very safe with Mares equipment in great condition. The boat took us about 45 minutes to the great spot in the street of Bonifacio where we could experience a thrilling dive with Manu - our intstructor.

A fantastic family business. We arranged everything via what’s app. They collected us from our hotel, spot on time. We enjoyed a beautiful day inboard thier catamaran boat, we saw a family of dolphins who followed us for about 30 mins, we had two beautiful stops to swim and snorkel. The family were so lovely, we enjoyed tea and biscuits and had a wonderful time, highly recommended.

An excellent snorkling experience in a small group with highly skilled and knowledgeable skippers.
Having done the 'Tahiti' experience in 2018 with our daughter on our last trip to Sardinia we were seeking a similar thrill. We were delighted to find the same company still running their business and clearly doing well!
The rigged bottom rib was comfortable and the ride across the waves was spectacular. The snorkling stops were really well thought through ahead and on the spot to maximise the experience for the client. The skippers really showed great background knowledge and skillfully shared their passion for the island and history in many different languages. Thank you very much indeed.

We did Caprera tour. We were lucky that the weather was really nice. The crew was friendly. We did three stops for snorkeling. All the equipment was available.

Had a good time!! Boat and equipment well cared for… crew speaks perfect English.
Company is well ran and safety efforts are easily seen!!! They had 3 dive masters in the water with 7 open water divers! Rescue air off side of boat if needed at safety stop(I’ve only seen this one other time). They brief the dives!
They also let ya set your own stuff up(I like this so I can remember since I only dive about once a year). They do watch ya and make sure ya got it or offer assistance! They load and unload your equipment for ya also!
Paid after the dive! That was a 1st too… I like it!
As for the view… it was a bite underwhelming. ALL my diving as been in the Bahamas until this dive. Lots of fish to see, normal eels, etc but everything is grey(at least the dive location we went to). I like seeing coral, and other life other than fish, wreck dives, etc. Best part on this dive was squeezing through a tight canyon for awhile.
Bonus- they have a sweet Dog on site!

I did two SSI specialty courses in May 2022. The crew was great. Really nice and relaxed people and I had a lot of fun with them. The equipment I rented was in good condition as were the boats. The diving spots were really beautiful with lots of fish for the Mediterranean.
But I would have liked a bit more skill focus on the courses. I felt that, from a learning experience, it was not as good as it could have been. But that's a subjective opinion.
I would book dives here again but I think if I wanted to do more SSI courses I would pick a different school. 4,5 Stars from me, rounded up to 5 for the review.

The best diving club in Sardinia. Excellent instructors with first class equipment. The experience is greatly improved by the familiar character of the business and the nice location.

salve, saremo in Costa Smeralda tra il 29 giugno e l'8 luglio. Abbiamo due bambini piccoli di 3 e 1 anno ma ci piacerebbe molto far vedere al più grande delfini e balene perché ama il mare e la natura. sarebbe possibile nonostante l'età?

Buongiorno e grazie per la vostra richiesta. L'escursione Whale Watching è da intendersi come un safari in mare giornaliero con una durata di circa 8 ore per poterci permettere di perlustrare un'ampia zona e aumentare le possibilità di incontro dei cetacei. Normalmente non abbiamo a bordo bambini così piccolini di un anno. Per maggiori informazioni potete contattarci telefonicamente. Saluti dalla Sardegna, Paola
