Jonio Pro-Dive Catania

Ustica, Italy

The team at Jonio Pro-Dive Catania are exactly who you want showing you Ustica. They’re based in Catania, yes, but they’ve got Ustica dialled. We love that they’re a PADI 5 Star IDC Resort, meaning their instructors are top-notch and always current, and that commitment to standards definitely shows in their dive guiding. When we dive with Jonio Pro-Dive, we always feel like we’re out with friends who really know the local waters. They specialise in making Ustica’s fantastic dive sites accessible, whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your skills. You’d choose them for their local knowledge and friendly, efficient operation, making for a smooth, enjoyable trip to the island’s best spots. Ustica is a gem, and Jonio Pro-Dive makes exploring its volcanic reefs and vibrant walls effortless. We’ve had some truly memorable dives here with them, spotting schooling barracuda shimmering in the blue and patiently watching dusky groupers eye us from their rocky hideouts. Their local skippers know all the best entry points, even when the scirocco wind picks up a bit. We’d suggest asking them about the Secca della Colombara early in the morning; the light there, filtering through the soft corals, is just something else.
