A few recreational dives and the PADI rescue course
One of the most professional dive centers I’ve ever been with!A family-friendly business with extremely knowledgeable and experienced instructors, dive masters, and captains. They always provide thorough safety briefings for both the boat and the dive/snorkel. The boats are clean, equipped with bathrooms, and even have post-dive snacks. Rental gear very well maintained. Highly recommended for divers of all levels!

Empfehlenswerte Tauchbasis!!!
Wir hatten eine tollen Tauchtag (2 Tauchgänge) mit unserem Kapitän Carmelo und unseren Guides Swann & Viviana. Super nette, freundliche, sympathische und humorvolle Menschen. Wir haben den Tag/die Tauchgänge in Taormina Nähe und an der Isola Bella sehr genossen. Die Tauchbasis ist definitiv zu empfehlen und wir haben definitiv vor beim nächsten Sizilien Urlaub Sea Spirit wieder zu buchen 😍.

Great instructors and fantastic dives!
I did 10 dives in early Sept with Sea Spirit instructors Filipi, Carmelo and Swann. Fantastic experience all round. Clear communication with Cilla from the office for planning my dives. Good equipment sanitized every day, clear routines and instructions on the boat and during dive briefings; yummy Sicilian snacks and epic soundtrack during the navigations. Felt safe prior to and during my dives with this crew. The guys from Sea Spirit are very experienced divers, very professional and supportive. They have the best knowledge about local dives sites, adapting to weather conditions fast and know where to find the best wildlife underwater. Any issues that arise they manage it gracefully and with great humour consistently. Thank you Sea Spirit for an amazing Sicilian experience!

Esperienza indimenticabile, bellissimi siti di immersione, team ben preparato
Ho prenotato un corso Discover Scuba Diving per me e mia figlia (12 anni). E' stato divertentissimo! La squadra è ben - preparato e molto qualificato. Questa esperienza subacquea è uno dei ricordi più belli che porto con me dalla Sicilia. I siti di immersione sono bellissimi! Un ringraziamento speciale alla nostra guida Filipi che mi ha aiutato a vedere il mondo sottomarino anche se all’inizio avevo abbastanza paura di immergermi. Questo tour è davvero adatto anche ai subacquei che sono preoccupati all'inizio ma vogliono comunque provare le immersioni. Il modo molto calmo e professionale dell'istruttore aiuta a gestire la sfida!
