Guided diving for beginners without certification from Sorrento

Punta Campanella Diving Center provided a phenomenal diving experience, with unbeatable locations and a professional engaging staff. If you are looking for a safe and fantastic diving excursion on the Amalfi Coast, this is these are the right people for the job.

Our instructors, Lisa and Robi, were experienced, fun, and professional. They gave a safety brief and reviewed the dive plan before each of our two dives. They went over all the hand and arm signals and ensured all participants had all the proper equipment. All backside preparation was taken care of by the dive supervisors.

Dive 1: a cave dive near turtle rock. Absolutely breath taking. The entrance to the cave was extremely large, which would not deter Squamish divers. The cave length was very short, less than 20m and was absolutely breath taking inside. Sufficient lights were brought with each diver provided by the ship to explore the cave properly. This was my first cave dive and it was a phenomenal experience thanks to the instructors and their location. The max depth was 40ft, and bottom time was 30 minutes, with a surface interval inside the cave. Excellent profile.

Dive 2: just off the port in Sorrento. An Italian national park with breathtaking fish clusters including grouper, eels, barracuda and many more. This depth was 90ft with a bottom time of 47 minutes, and one decompression stop. The staff briefed the decompression stop and the instructors gave the signal while subsurface just as briefed in the plan. The fish and scenery were phenomenal. This dive they split the group into ability groups, allowing the less experienced divers to stay higher in the water column, and giving the more experienced divers the freedom to explore. A fantastic experience.

Overall: I hope I can travel to Sorrento again to ensure I give more business to Punta Campanella. They are rock stars, and exceptional stewards of the diving community.

I booked for this trip while in Sorrento and I am so glad I found it, it was an INCREDIBLE experience! Amazing instructors cover the equipment and safety information thoroughly (in English) and after a brief trial dive in shallow water we were buddied up and taken out into a quiet bay in the Bay of Naples, seeing an array of fish, crustaceans, star fish and more! The water was so clear, it was unbelievable. A trip I will never forget, thanks again!

Had a awesome time in this beautiful place. Professional and friendly team. I have dived in the Red Sea and Croatia but this has been my best dive to date. Thanks to the team.

We scheduled a very large group (14 people) for scuba diving, discovery scuba, and snorkeling. The weather was uncooperative for the date we scheduled, but Punta Campanella were very flexible and were able to reschedule us for the next morning. The dive shop was also incredibly patient with us as we switched people between snorkeling and scuba. For the discovery scuba, our instructors were excellent and very pleasant. All 6 of our discovery scuba divers now want to get their full certifications! We had a wonderful time with Punta Campanella Diving Center, and we highly recommend them to anyone who wishes to dive or snorkel in Sorrento!

The whole experience was mind blowing.
This is my first time but did not feel like it when i dived. The team and guides are super kind, generous, fun and great coaches. They are very helpful in guiding you through the adventure step by step which makes you feel comfortable and safe.
They are also always available online for any questions. They provide you with everything you need. All you get with you is a bathing suit and a towel.
Best of all, you get your whole trip recorded and sent to you!
Would love to come back again!

I had an AMAZING experience diving with Punta Campanella Diving. I was both picked up and dropped off in the center of Sorrento in an extremely reachable and convenient location. Additionally, I was able to see a lot of sea life during the two dives including the spotted eagle ray, stingray, grouper, and a giant school of barracuda. Gianluigi was extremely professional and provided the group with water and a light snack to keep everyone going strong. The RIB was fantastic as it was equipped with all the necessary installations needed in order to store equipment. Overall, I have to say this was my FAVORITE diving experience in Europe!

I had a really enjoyable diving experience. I had done a little scuba diving before, but I do not have a license. The staff were very friendly
and helpful and explained all the the steps clearly to ensure safety. I dived under the guidance of a qualified instructor along side another beginner. Our two dives lasted around 40 minutes each and it was an amazing experience.
