Punta Campanella Diving Sorrento - Naples & Campania
Punta Campanella Diving Sorrento is a solid choice if you're looking to explore the sites around Sorrento, and we’d particularly suggest it for divers keen on advancing their PADI certifications. As a 5 Star IDC Resort, they’re geared up for everything from your Open Water to instructor development, making them a good base for serious PADI progression. We’ve found their boat trips to be well-organised, heading out to those classic Mediterranean wall dives and the occasional wreck. It's a busy centre, especially in summer, but they manage the crowds well and the guides know the local waters like the back of their hand, which is always a plus when currents can get frisky.
