About this experience

The activity provides access to volcanic rock formations, thermal water vents, and marine life in the Tyrrhenian Sea. Certified instructors lead each session, ensuring safety and orientation for all participants.

What to expect

Guided boat transfer from Serrara Fontana's harbour to dive sites within 15 minutes, with sessions lasting 2 to 3 hours including equipment setup.
Full scuba gear (BCD, regulator, wetsuit, mask, fins) and weights included; snorkellers receive mask, snorkel, fins, and buoyancy aid.
Underwater sights include black coral colonies, moray eels, octopus, and clouds of damselfish around the submerged volcanic boulders of Punta Imperatore.
Thermal water vents release warm bubbles from the seabed at depths of 8 to 12 metres, creating a distinct shimmering effect visible to snorkellers at the surface.
Suitable for certified divers (minimum Open Water Diver) and confident swimmers; introductory try-dives for beginners are available with a pre-dive briefing in English or Italian.
