Diving with Punta Campanella in Sorrento
Very good experience from the first contact. Very nice shop right on the shoreline, very helpful staff, convenient changing and shower facilities. Very comfortable price for the service. Interesting dives (I had 4 dives over 2 days), especially for people who never had diving in Mediterranean. Highly recommend.

Great experience
Amazing experience I hadn’t dived in a few years but the staff helped me relax, they were very patient and took great care of me. The dive was clear and the sea life was fantastic.

Amazing, best dive experience I have had so far !
I went with my son and daughter on a double dive. This is an excellent dive centre. It is located in the harbour in Sorrento, so really easy to access. When we arrived the dive centre looked very organised and friendly. Although we have dived before they took the time to explain the process, get us the correct sized equipment and introduce us to our appointed dive guide. The boat is a short 3 minute walk and the staff had our tanks etc already on the boat ! On our first dive, which was only a 10 minute boat journey, we saw loads of marine life and got us used to the equipment and conditions. After we got to go back to the dive centre and use their facilities for 20 minutes and have some of the snacks provided. Then it was onto an amazing second dive at Banco Santa Croce site, only 20 minutes away, with loads more marine life, we saw 4 x stingrays ! I would highly recommend this dive centre !

A return to diving
Great dive experience with a good bunch of dive instructors! I hadn’t dived for some time so I was well looked after by Lisa ( who was patient with me throughout the dive ) . Visibility was not great but we still saw sting rays and groupers. This dive operator took care of all prep and post dive matters. Safe, reliable and fun. 😀

Why this scores 68
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Sorrento 2 Tank Scuba Dive: Santa Croce Reef & Sorrento Bay: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sorrento.
How much does Sorrento 2 Tank Scuba Dive: Santa Croce Reef & Sorrento Bay cost?
+
Prices start at $223 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sorrento usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Sorrento 2 Tank Scuba Dive: Santa Croce Reef & Sorrento Bay take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sorrento is not rushed.
Is Sorrento 2 Tank Scuba Dive: Santa Croce Reef & Sorrento Bay worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 19 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sorrento, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Sorrento 2 Tank Scuba Dive: Santa Croce Reef & Sorrento Bay?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Sorrento 2 Tank Scuba Dive: Santa Croce Reef & Sorrento Bay suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Sorrento 2 Tank Scuba Dive: Santa Croce Reef & Sorrento Bay?
+
Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sorrento can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sorrento and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sorrento 2 Tank Scuba Dive: Santa Croce Reef & Sorrento Bay start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sorrento within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Sorrento?
+
On Outty we rank every Sorrento experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sorrento Farm and Food Experience including Olive Oil, Limoncello, Wine tasting, Pizza School with Wine and Limoncello Tasting in a Local Farm, Authentic Farm Tour with Pizza, Cheese, Wine & Limoncello Tasting. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Sorrento?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Sorrento?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
