What travelers are saying
- Elizabeth H10 contributionsSee parts of Vulcano that others do not get to see and marvel at the stunning scenery from the sea. Swim in crystal clear waters and into caves with thermal waters. This was the best day on our trip to Sicily. Eugenio was an excellent guide. He was very knowledgeable about the geology, flora, fauna and history of the island. He was very considerate and adapted the trip to our requirements. We are experienced sea kayakers so spent all day paddling around Vulcano and Lipari swimming and snorkeling at interesting points. However he also does shorter trips for those with less experience. All equipment is provided. An fantastic day.Written October 7, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- cristian r1 contributionGiovanni is one of the most professional but also a gentleman skipper as I had known
Boat brand new, perfect timing schedule during all the day, often food & drink
So everything quite perfect

Equipment looks new, place clean, water is clear and full of life :)
We already have the next one planned on the same spot :) Thank you!Written February 1, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Phil1 contributionJoined Alex, Marta and a diving group from Manchester for a great couple of dives today. Well organised, well run. Safe and enjoyable day, led by a very knowledgeable, friendly, calm and experienced team who made me feel very welcome.
Thankyou all for a great day!

- Ray MIsland of Malta, Malta4 contributionsWe visited and dived with La Gorgonia a week ago, September 2022. They are an amazing PADI 5 Star dive center very central to Lipari harbor and the owners Pino and Mimma are so welcoming and professional and nice to talk to, they helped us with all that we required even though we had our own equipment. Their equipment is very new and well looked after from what we could see. we did 3 dives over 2 days with them and Pino took us to some amazing sites and caves too, but unfortunately no fish !! just 1 grouper and a Moray eel as the area has been very overfished as Pino told us. but the dives were spectacular in the rock formations and Pino took us to a place in Volcano where if you put your hand inside the cracks in the rocks you can feel the high temperature from the volcano, great fun!! Overall we really enjoyed our dives, they made us feel very welcome and always felt safe on the dinghy as Pino is a careful driver with many years experience too. We highly recommend diving with these lovely people at La Gorgonia in Lipari :)Written September 22, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- papbos66Boston, MA64 contributionsArriving at this enclave at San Vito Lo Capo is an experience. it confirms that Sicily is a land of contrast (with expressed or contained beauty in the eye of the beholder). Driving in, one feels the harshness of the bare mountains, the richness of olive groves and vineyards, the vastness of rocky beaches, and finally the white sand and clear waters caressing the 'sea' of ombrelloni' an reclining chairs. You ask yourself, "Am I truly in Sicily?" It could as well been a beach in Florida. By the way, this Lido is the quietest in the jungle of temporary summer housing at San Vito Lo Capo. It is worthwhile experience.Written July 10, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Penny1 contributionI hadn’t dived for 15 years and have been desperate to try again with my 11 and 14 year old. The three of us did a Discover scuba session on the boat off Favignana this morning and we loved it! The team made us feel very welcome and Francesco explained everything very clearly. We loved being on the boat as much as the dive! One by one, each dive was calm and we were encouraged to go down at our own pace and only when we were ready. Weather conditions meant we had to stay close to the coast but Franceso made the whole experience really interesting and we saw some great stuff. My hope was that my two kids would be inspired to discover more. They definitely want to do more. Thank you Francisco and Vincenzo for a great introduction to scuba.Written August 10, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- BodySynergyFitCationOakland15 contributionsI organized an active group tour of Sicily and had the privilege of using Francesco and his guides. My husband and I met him for a preview of the kayaking tour and we spent an absolutely fantastic few hours with him, Not only is he an expert on the marine life of this area, but it also became a historical tour of Siracusa and Ortigia. We returned with a group of 15 people of varying abilities, ranging in age from 22 to 82. The weather was very windy and Francesco was able to pivot on the spot and provide a tour up the river, instead of crossing the rough bay. My guests had a ball and loved the experience. It's rare to find a guide that can so quickly adapt to the needs of a group, but Francesco did it beautifully. If you are planning a trip to Sicily, don't hesitate to reach out to Maremotu and Francesco!Written June 7, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- WojciechPoznan, Poland5 contributionsI was on many islands and in even more beach bars but this one is first, and I hope last, which is charging 1 euro for one moment of using public shower... I can imagine bussines, I can understand high prices at the bar, 5 euro 2h parkinng, it is clients choice, pay it or not, we did. But a shower!?!? Its cheap. A now imagine beeing there in family of 5... We left money for parking, we left money for drinks and snacks, we left money for shower and we left cabana nabana for good...Written October 1, 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Concept Scuba MaltaSaint Julian's, Malta24 contributionsWe dove with Silvana and Salvo's Dive Centre for 3 days doing 6 dives.
From the very beginning as we contacted them to book before we arrived in Favignana the lovely Silvana was very helpful and gave us lots of options when to dive and booked us in no problem she is very friendly and spoke English no problem but I chose to practice my Italian and she laughed but understood me!
Their Dive Centre is ideally located right on a little peninsula and in a quaint little harbor where their Dive Boat and Dinghy / Rib are also moored so its so easy to go do the dives by boat. Their dive center is well equipped and Salvo always happy to help he even came up with a replacement pressure gouge when mine started leaking too and for free to use it!! In other words they and we became great friends over the 3 days we spent diving with them.
Their Instructors and Dive Master and in particular Emilio and Govanna are all very nice and helpful and very experienced deep divers too ;) Their dive sites like Toro reef and Cala Fondale are amazing reefs and walls full of lobsters and stingrays and Barracudas even a large Spanish Dancer made an appearance too!!
They kept our dive gear overnight and their washing areas are ample for all divers to do pre and post preparations. Their prices are very good too.
Always smiling and happy to help and suggest dive sites according to our experience and they delivered a fun and safe and easy time scuba diving for us in a family atmosphere :) I'm a PADI Staff and Tec Deep Instructor, TDI and SSI Instructor too but my partner and her daughter are only Rescue Divers and we can totally recommend Silvana and Salvo's Posidonia Blu Diving Centre whether you are experienced or just a beginner.
Thank you for a lovely time diving with you and we will be back for sure :) Grazzie mille Silvana e Salvo <3 xxWritten September 20, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
