In fact, a period of relaxation in this area is enriched by cultural cues of considerable interest.

The Italia Diving Tour is a nice project for scuba divers and launched through Parks.it, the Italian institutional website dedicated to natural parks and marine protected areas in Italy.
At the moment –but the number is steadily growing- there are 212 dive sites along the Italian coast which can be explored and known with this initiative.
The aim is to attract divers in the national parks and protected areas: unique opportunities to see breathtaking panoramas and the important results that the protection of the ecosystem has produced in many natural areas. Such as the Park of Porto Conte and the Marine Protected Area of Capo Caccia-Isola Piana.
Joining Italia Diving Tour is easy! Through one of the welcoming pages of diving is possible to book diving: the procedure doesn’t require any payments or commitments by credit card. The reservation is transmitted instantly via SMS and email.
Once you make the dive, the diving center will release the stamp Italian Diving Tour and the coupon where to attach it. 10 stamps are enough to receive the prestigious sweatshirt of the Italia Diving Tour!
