La famiglia
Il nostro staff è composto da 3 elementi, Bruno, Susanna e Niccolò. In origine Bruno e Susanna, ideatori e creatori del Portofino Divers, svolgevano ogni tipo di mansione fuori e sotto l'acqua, per realizzare quello che era la nostra idea di centro immersioni sarebbe stato impensabile delegare chiunque a concretizzare quello che solo noi potevamo immaginare come concetto di subacquea.
Quando la nostra attività si è consolidata abbiamo deciso di ampliare la nostra forza lavoro per ottimizzare maggiormente i nostri servizi. E' così che Niccolò, rispondendo adeguatamente agli alti requisiti da noi richiesti, grazie soprattutto al suo innato talento per la subacquea che riteniamo sia l'attitudine principale e indispensabile per poter fare il nostro lavoro; è entrato a far parte della nostra piccola famiglia.
Siamo orgogliosi di essere tutti e tre del posto, cresciuti nel nostro mare che ci regala tante soddisfazioni ogni giorno, amanti della natura, della vita semplice di paese e della tranquillità che la caratterizza.
Siamo addestrati per ogni tipo d’immersione, esperti conoscitori di biologia marina, di tecniche per le immersioni in grotta e sui relitti, di immersioni profonde a miscela, guide coscienziose ma sempre pronte a sbalordire il cliente più esigente mostrandogli le meraviglie che si celano in queste acque.
