If you’re looking to combine your love of history, the sea, and adventure, the Underwater Archaeology Course in Sicily offers a rare opportunity. This program, offered by Dive Sicily, promises a full five-hour immersion into the realm of underwater research — blending classroom instruction with practical diving experiences. It’s perfect for curious travelers eager to get their hands dirty in a meaningful way, exploring Sicily’s submerged treasures with an expert guide.

What we really appreciate about this experience is its comprehensive approach: you’re not just snorkeling around and calling it a day. From learning archaeological search techniques on land to practicing real underwater exploration, it feels authentic and educational. Plus, the inclusion of full equipment rental, museum entrance, and digital materials makes it an all-inclusive adventure, providing excellent value for the price. On the flip side, one thing to consider is that the PADI license fee (about €65) is separate — a small extra cost for those wanting to formalize their diving credentials.

This tour is ideal for history buffsdiving enthusiasts, or anyone with a keen interest in marine archaeology. It’s accessible, with most travelers able to participate, and provides a well-rounded introduction to a fascinating field.
