      Organized and communicative
      Communication with Sea Spirit is very easy going and straightforward. No worries if you have questions, they answer them quickly and comprehensively. Had an excellent time diving with them for two days (four dives) as an AOW. Would recommend them if you want to explore Sicily underwater

      Incredible diving in a stunning location, run by friendly and helpful staff.
      Fantastic. We went as a family of four to go the last four dives of our PADI Open Water qualification. Everything was smooth and efficient, from renting kit to the glorious boat trip across the bay to Isola Bella and the dives themselves, which were a joy. We did the necessary skills at the outset and then went for a swim around underwater in the stunning environment. The whole team were friendly, helpful and clearly highly skilled. Particular thanks to our wonderful instructor, Margriet, who took us through everything patiently and made the whole experience easy and fun. She even took our underwater video camera on the last dive and took some lovely videos of us. 10/10 all round: I cannot think of a thing I'd change.

      Just WOW! It’s a must.
      From the beginning to end, the experience at Sea Spirit Diving was quite simply amazing. They are so relaxed which made my son and I feel very comfortable. He has never dived before and right from the start Cilla put him at ease. On the morning of the dives (we did 2) everything was calm and organised. Chrissy and Swan our instructors were brilliant at explaining everything and because of this on and 10m below the surface everything was calm and in control. We you are under the surface it’s like another planet. I highly recommend Sea Spirit Diving and I’d like to thank the whole team there. 10/10!

      Fun and relaxed experience with Sea Spirit
      10/10 recommend Sea Spirit. One of the nicest dive masters I've met and one of the most fun diving trips in a long while. Took the Padi Advanced course with Swann who was amazing in keeping the course relaxed and fun, not forgetting the theory naturally. Furthermore, Swann took time to give us personal advice between the dives on my diving skills which shows that they really do want to create an experience. Professional, nicely planned dives with many fun marine life surprises along the way that Swann found and pointed out during the dives. Thanks Sea Spirit and especially Swann for the course and experience!

      Great fun out on the Rib.
      A lovely rib trip from Naxos to Isola Bella Island. Water was quite clear and we stopped at two snorkelling sites. Great experience and we saw quite a range of fish. All equipment was provided and we even got biscuits and Procecco after the swim. Happy to recommend the Sea Spirit team for anyone wanting to go diving or snorkelling!

      Excellent experience
      Booked this trip for my 16 year old son who was keen to join a dive following his certification in March. Sea spirit diving were super helpful and supportive. I was really comfortable leaving him to take part knowing that the instructors were experienced and attentive to this. Great communication and responsiveness throughout.

      Superb experience - perfect organisation , great dive masters (Thanks Chrisy ❤️) and beautiful dive sites - would absolutely do it again. Just beware the dive center is actually not in Taormina despite what google search says.

      Brilliant scuba experience
      The trip was fantastic. Our instructors, Margriet and Swann were very calm and supportive and made our first time scuba diving really enjoyable. The location is stunning. I would recommend to anyone interested in learning the basics of scuba diving and wanting to see some beautiful fish in the process!

      Great diving experience for beginners
      We did the PADI discover scuba diving course and were in very safe hands with Loris and the whole Sea Spirit team! I was nervous to start with but everyone was so friendly, reassuring and supportive. We did two dives which was great to help build confidence and meant we got to fully enjoy the experience on the second dive. The trip was very well organised - I would highly recommend to beginners!!

      Great boat, great dives, great crew under the shadow of Taormina.
      It's been a while since I've dived and this was the perfect reintroduction to it. The Sea Spirit crew and the dive was so great I even booked a second 2-dive trip a few days later + extended my stay in town. The group was a mix of beginners, long-time divers, and snorkelers and the team did great not only in making sure everyone got what they wanted out of the day but adjusted on the fly based on water conditions, how busy the area around Isola Bella was, and the weather. The guides I had also were great at adjusting the underwater route based on what there was to see and how strong the currents were getting at certain points. Personally it was a great mix of relaxing and challenging, not to mention the sun deck and the post-dive vino di mandorla and cantucci were a nice touch. Would love to go again!

      Adventurous!
      Diving with Sea Spirit in Taormina was excellent! Very friendly and experienced crew, 2 beautiful dives: one at huge drop offs and one at a cave-like circuit. Many sorts of fish like schools of sardines, groopers, mooray eels nudibranches (micro and big ones), even barracudas and in the savety stop an actopus. The boatride along the slopes of the Etna and Taormina was pittoreske.

    Half day with two snorkeling sessions with the boat. Applause to Giampaolo, attentive and considerate to all participants. We were matched in this outing to about twenty divers with consequent attention paid exclusively to them. And that can pass. It was absolutely not pleasant instead to be treated as second-class customers both in being forced to speak only English (we remember being in Italy and I understand the internationality, but...), nor especially to have been left in the sun of the port for half an hour at 14 because they had no place in the car to return to the hotel... Thanks again to Giampaolo, the rest to review

    Gentile Daniela, La ringraziamo per averci segnalato il disagio riscontrato durante il suo recente tour. Ci dispiace molto che il suo ritorno sia stato più lungo del previsto. Comprendiamo la sua frustrazione e ci scusiamo per l'attesa. Le confermiamo che nonostante l'imbarcazione fosse piena, abbiamo fatto del nostro meglio per gestire la situazione e dai controlli effettuati ci risulta che abbiate aspettato il pulmino in barca all'ombra appunto con il nostro comandante Gianpaolo . Il nostro è un centro diving e snorkeling quindi nella stessa giornata ci sono sempre diverse attività con l'attenzione dovuta a tutti . Taormina è una località internazionale e abbiamo un equipaggio multilingua e due istruttori più il Capitano parlano perfettamente italiano . I briefing vengono tenuti in inglese e viene sempre chiesto se tutti i partecipanti lo comprendono correttamente. Per migliorare il nostro servizio, stiamo valutando soluzioni per l’organizzazione dei transfers e dei briefing soprattutto nei periodi di alta stagione. Cordiali saluti Cilla Lentz

    We went for a half day of snorkelling. At first we were concerned that there were only divers with us but we got all the attention needed from the very friendly staff. The atmosphere on the boat was very relaxed but you could see the crew was safety minded. The boat itself in very comfortable as a diving platform but also for its amazing sun deck.

    This was a great experience. The crew on the boat were friendly and knowledgeable, the snorkeling was beautiful, the whole experience was both relaxing and engaging.

    The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 was that the advertised duration was 9:00-3:00, but we were back at the dock at 12:30. A little disappointing.

    Lovely friendly people and a slick, well organised operation. Beautiful locations for both diving and snorkelling. Plenty of species of fish can be seen just snorkelling. Good quality kit and plenty of sizes, including child sizes, unless you're a woman....The dive master and boat crew gave clear instructions in multiple languages. A very enjoyable trip.

    First of all the booking went quick and easy. We could ask all questions in English through Whatsapp. Very friendly staff. We went snorkeling on the small boat. Our boys (8,12 and 15) enjoyed jumping of the boat a lot. They are still talking about it. The snorkeling was great as well. The water was clear and we swam amongst lots of small fish. We saw a Murene and Baracuda’s. It was well organized with all the explanation, especially the little book with pictures of the fish we could find.

    We were on a tour with with scuba divers and we were the only snorkelers We arrived at our first location in the nature reserve before any other boats so we had the area to ourselves for almost the whole time.The water was so clear and we did see a lot of sea life especially along the walls. The water is cold and they do provide you (for free) with a wet suit. We had our own snorkeling equipment but they do provide it for free if you need it. we moved to a second spot and snorkeled in that area too which was wonderful. There is a second level with bean bags to sun yourself after each swim stop. They provided delicious snacks (fruit, biscotti and drinks). we had an awesome adventure!! I highly recommend them!!
