PRESENTATION
The goal was almost reached, when Paola and I decided to renew the Orso Diving Club Poltu Quatu in 1999. We decided to create a Diving Center which could guarantee innovation and exclusive features to the divers. For this reason we have realized a structure and an organization that makes diving more pleasant and comfortable, increasing fun and safety.
We have not only realized the first "Floating Diving", but also equipped it with the best technologies and nautical means. We have formed a staff of a dozen of instructors and dive masters, able to satisfy all requests.
Visiting our web site you can ascertain the variety and the exclusiveness of our services. To the Diving we have combined an accommodation structure, the Hotel-Residence Rena Bianca in Baja Sardinia, which guarantees the best quality-price relationship among the many possibilities offered in the Emerald Coast. Don’t forget
that, as a matter of fact, all this has the fortune to be between the Island of Lavezzi in Corsica and the Island of
Tavolara: an area called "The Mediterranean Tropic" with its unique Mouths of Bonifacio and the Archipelago of La Maddalena.

HISTORY
In 1986 Corrado Azzali opens the Orso Diving Club in Poltu
Quatu. At this time he has an experience of 4 seasons as a Diving Guide and as a PADI Instructor at the
Maldives. In the following years, Corrado spends the summer seasons in Sardinia, and the winter ones in the Tropical
Seas: from 1982 to 1990 at the Maldives (the last four seasons on cruise
boats); 1991 on Similand
Island, again on a cruise boat; from 1992 to 1996 in the Egyptian Red Sea, Sudanese Red Sea and Cayo Largo Island (Cuba). In these years Corrado works side by side with Lorenzo Segalini and the wonderful
Maddy. They plan, start and manage nearly ten Diving Centers and Cruising Boats. Most of the times they are real "track
openers": they are the first ones to organize cruises in the Maldives and
Similand, the first ones to open and manage a Diving Center in Sudan, the first foreign society to lead a Diving Center in Cuba. In 1995 Corrado meets Paola Pegoraro and in 1996 they get
married. Corrado now has stopped working with foreign activities, in order to follow exclusively the Diving Base in Sardinia with Paola. As well they have been directing the diving vacations sectors of different Travel
Agencies, such as Line Diving - Grantour and Going Diving of Going Tours. In 1998 Corrado and Paola create their own Tour Operator called "I Viaggi dell’Orso", selling only locations directly managed by themselves (Sharm El Sheikh, Hurghada, Port Sudan, Cayo Largo and Sardinia). Since 2000 Paola and Corrado have been exclusively taking care of the first and last "true" Orso Diving Club, the one in Poltu Quatu in Sardinia. In the meantime the family has happily increased with the arrivals of Asia in 1996 and Alessio in 1999. |
