-What is ARA?
The air breathing apparatus is a set of equipment: cylinder, regulators (underwater snorkel) and Jacket (a jacket that allows us to float underwater)
-Where does the activity take place?
Theory: Diving Center
Delimited basin: Spiaggia del Riso
Open waters: from inflatable boat in AMP
The Marine Protected Area of Capo Carbonara extends from Capo Boi to the island of Serpentara, but its heart is located on the Isola dei Cavoli where zones A are located (only divers are allowed access) and B or those rich in marine life.
Obviously they are not the only points where marine flora and fauna are in abundance, in fact, based on the marine weather conditions, you can dive at the rock of S. Caterina or Cava Usai.
Location
Porto Turistico di Villasimius
Via Degli Oleandri
Leave the vehicle on the road. To access the port just go down the stairs. Our restaurant is located north of the building.

Excellent Adventure - These guys were amazing, they took you through everything you needed to know as a novice and ensured that you were comfortable throughout. I was welcomed at the site, fitted for wetsuit & fins and then had a great one-to-one brief. Went out to the dive site on the boat with others and my instructor stayed with me throughout. We spent over 30 minutes at 8 metres looking at the various fish and rock structures, if you have never done this before then it is a great opportunity to do so. Safety is paramount so have confidence when booking this trip. You will kick yourself if you do not book this!

Amazing experience! - The guys were great. It was my first time trying this and I was scared as hell! Jacopo was very instructive and patient. He led us out into the water by boat and was patient as I worked on my breathing. Would 100% recommend. Great tea too!

Professional and cool team - We spent two mornings with the Archeo team, snorkeling and then a guided dive for my husband and myself (certified divers) and a try dive for our 10 year old. We were very happy with the service. The guides were professional but also cool and relaxed, and very good with our child. They created a good atmosphere on the boat which for me is an important ingredient of a good dive. The sea bottom in Villasimius is nice, don't expect to see anything extraordinary but in the reserve there is a lot of fish.

Lovely afternoon - we had a scuba diving excursion on a sunday afternoon. It turned out to be a private excursion beacause we where the only participants. I had broken my toe the day earlier and wanst sure how it would turned out. Julia and Michele where super friendly and making sure we were doing ok during the whole experience. The big boot was broken so we had to take the little boot. Michele was so friendly to hold the parasol above our heads when we came on board to rest a bit. They offered water and verry delicious cookies during the trip.
Tank you for the memories, you where lovely.

Professional and friendly Center! - I was only there for 2 days but I would’ve liked to stay even longer! I did 4 dives in total and all of them were amazing. The staff was very friendly and open to make connections further than only business. One member of the staff even said I could try out his own equipment(backplate and wing bcd) when I mentioned I was interested in them. I sadly did not have enough time to try it out as I had to leave again. In overall the dive Center was amazing and would defenirly recommend this dive Center to other people!

Unique dive experience - Hi! I dived 6 times during the 3 days spent in Villasimius. Good organisation including deep dives that afford us to see so many interesting Mediterranean stuffs such as Alcyonaceas, colored nudibranchs and an amazing octopuss... A warm thank you to Jacopo and Paolo who trained me for two experiences of the advanced divers program.
Take care

Amazing snorkling with two small kids - Archeo Diving took me, my wife and our two small kids (4 and 8) on an amazing snorkling trip around the Capo Carbonara. My daughter (8), who can swim a bit, learned to use the snorkel and had a great experience in the crystal clear water filled with exciting life. My son (4) was with us in the water just as much and the provided life jacket and lifebuoy kept him safe and happy.
The trip is highly recommended. Archeo provides high quality equipment, even for something as unlikely as two small kids, and the staff is so friendly and speaks English well. We shared the boat with more advanced divers and they too seemed to enjoy their trip, so I feel confident recommending this also for more advanced divers.

Great experience - We went on a snorkel trip and it was actually very nice! They are very professional and kind with the tourists.
It’s also a nice point that they know several languages (since we are from Spain and don’t know any Italian) They have a pick up service as well and for a good price. It was a great experience, I strongly recommend it!
