THE LOGISTIC

The center is situated on a floating base of 150 square meters which is moored to the wharf H of the suggestive harbour of Poltu Quatu. Unique in it’s kind, it offers comfortable solutions and inimitable functionality. Once reached the Orso Diving Club, you can directly transfer the equipment from the car to the diving. The nautical means are moored around the ample porch, which is also used as bench from where we will effect the loading and unloading from the boats, prepare the diving equipment, and rinse the equipment with sweet water tubs after use. Those divers who participate at the “Blue Weeks”, can leave the whole equipment on board during the whole stay. Thanks to the external ramps the tanks can be loaded directly on board, while our staff will rinse them with the sweet water showers.

 

THE CENTRAL STRUCTURE

is formed as follows: compressor box, recharging center, clients equipments deposit room, office equipped with an "internet point" at clients disposal, classroom, equipment rental space and shop assistance. On the roof of the central structure there is a panoramic solarium where our clients and friends can enjoy the Sardinian sun. Only 50 meters from the diving there are hygienic services of the Marina with warm showers and baths which are at our disposal.

A FLOATING DIVING WHAT A CONVENIENCE!

Those of you who had the fortune to participate to a diving cruise surly appreciated the convenience of diving this way. Everything is in reachable distance, the tanks remain mounted for most of the vacation, and the only thing there is to do, is wearing the wet suit, jump on the boat and within a few minutes of navigation time you are on the chosen dive spot. Well, at the Orso Diving it works the same way! Imagine that in only two hours you can get to diving, prepare your equipment, go to a dive spot, have a 50 minutes dive, and come back to the diving!!
