La famille
Notre staff est composé de 3 éléments, Bruno, Susanna et Niccolò.
A l’origine Bruno et Susanna, concepteurs et créateurs du Portofino Divers, exerçaient tout type de fonction hors de l’eau et sous l’eau pour réaliser notre projet de centre de plongée il aurait été impensable de déléguer quiconque pour concrétiser ce que nous seuls pouvions imaginer comme concept de plongée.
Quand notre activité s’est consolidée nous avons décidé d’élargir notre force travail pour optimiser encore plus nos services. C’est ainsi que Niccolò, répondant de façon adéquate aux qualités que nous demandions, grâce surtout à son talent inné pour la plongée sous-marine que nous jugeons être l’aptitude principale et indispensable pour pouvoir faire notre travail; est entré dans notre petite famille.
Nous sommes orgueilleux d’être tous les trois originaires du lieu, nous avons grandi dans cette mer qui nous offre d’énormes satisfactions tous les jours, amants de la nature, de la vie simple de bourg et de la tranquillité qui le caractérise.
Nous sommes formés pour tout type de plongée, experts connaisseurs de biologie marine, de techniques pour les plongées en grotte et sur les épaves, de plongées profondes à mélange, des guides consciencieux mais toujours prêts à étonner le client le plus exigeant en lui montrant les merveilles qui se dissimulent dans ces eaux.
