Located at the center of Italy’s first marine reserve, La Perla Nera Diving introduces divers to Ustica’s rich biodiversity and conservation education through specialty marine courses.
This course teaches divers how to remove marine litter safely and record data during a real underwater cleanup. Divers join a supervised cleanup dive and prepare debris surveys to be submitted to Project AWARE.
