Your first breath underwater starts here.
Try Scuba, better known as the Baptism of the Sea, is the underwater experience designed for those who want to explore the underwater world for the first time.
With our expert instructors and in complete safety, you can dive among colorful fish, explore enchanting seabeds, and experience the magic of the sounds of underwater life in the Aci Trezza Marine Protected Area.
Suitable for everyone, no experience or certification required: just a desire to be amazed.
Dive with us, and you’ll never look at the sea the same way again.
Founded in the late 1990s, DNA Divers is an amateur sports association that promotes respect for the sea through recreational diving programs.
The Scuba Try is your thrilling first step into diving, your very first dive.
A unique experience designed even for those who have never worn a mask and want to explore the underwater world safely.
Accompanied by a certified instructor dedicated solely to you, you’ll start with a brief introduction to the basics of diving: how the equipment works, how to move underwater, and what to expect during the dive.
When you’re ready, you’ll begin breathing through the regulator with your instructor… and in that moment, your first underwater experience will officially begin.
From just a few inches below the surface, you’ll find yourself immersed in a new world of colors, fish, and sounds that speak to the heart.
Every step will be taken at your own pace, with absolute respect for safety.
Are you ready to discover what lies below the surface?
No, it’s not necessary to be a good swimmer.
The Try Scuba (Baptism of the Sea) experience takes place in calm waters, accompanied by an experienced instructor who will be with you from start to finish. The equipment keeps you afloat and allows you to relax completely. The important thing is to feel comfortable in the water and follow the instructions.
It’s normal to feel a bit nervous the first time!
That’s why every step is taken slowly, respecting your pace.
Your instructor will always be by your side, ready to help and make you feel safe.
You decide when to enter the water and when to stop at any moment.
The entire experience lasts about 1 hour.
It includes a short initial briefing on land, getting suited up, and the actual dive, which lasts a variable amount of time (usually 30–40 minutes underwater), depending on your comfort level.
Everything is carried out calmly and without rushing, so you can enjoy every moment to the fullest.

Also haven't dived since I got the PADI OWD, so DNA folks came up with a plan to do refresher+dive and get the most out of it (but also stay safe for the summit/hike) The dive site itself is awesome, its considered the birthplace of Etna and has some really cool geological formations. Nature here is amazing too - if I remember correctly its protected area so that explains a ton of fish we saw 😁 The highlight for me was witnessing a bunch of fireworms devouring an eel 😁 All in all folks, do not miss this spot, the team is awesome and the landscape is spectacular! 🔥Pubblicato su c snoop30.

Carmelo a pris son temps pour un briefing complet du site et pour qu'on puisse se comprendre malgré la barrière de la langue. Carmelo est très patient et attentif 🥰 tous les ingrédients pour une superbe plongée dans la zone marine protégée d'Isola Cyclops. Beaucoup de vie et en prime un banc de petit barracuda 🤩💚 Merci pour cette belle plongée (la première pour moi en méditerranée) et bonne continuation à toute l'équipePubblicato su sophie stein22.

Très belle sortie snorkeling ce matin avec Carmelo qui nous a fait partager ses connaissances et sa passion de la mer, de la plongée et de la côte d’Acitrezza. Un grand merci à lui pour cette expérience unique !Pubblicato su Anne M.21. Ottobre, 2025Trustindex verifica che la fonte originale della recensione sia Google. My partner and I spent three days (six dives) with DNA Divers last week. It was simply fantastic. Chad, our guide, led us safely through the depths and showed us so much. Octopuses, squid, young barracudas, lots of moray eels, and super cute nudibranchs. On land, Graziano and Carmelo completed the experience. Everyone is super nice and helpful. We felt very comfortable. The on-site "dive pool" (just across the street and you're there) is simply impressive. Thank you all so much for the wonderful days with you.Pubblicato su Frank Wackenhut15. Ottobre, 2025Trustindex verifica che la fonte originale della recensione sia Google. We had six amazing dives with DNA Divers! The dive sites were absolutely stunning — we saw huge schools of teenage barracudas, friendly cuttlefish, hiding octopus, swimming moray eels, and tiny nudibranchs. A big thank you to Chad, Carmello, and Graziano for making it such a wonderful experience — all of them were professional, friendly, and so much fun to dive with!Pubblicato su mirella pappalardo15.

Man hat einen leichten Einstieg ins Wasser und der Tauchspot direkt vor der Base ist einfach genial, Geschützes Gebiet mit vielen Dingen zu sehen.
