diving argentario:
Headquarters
The diving center is located along the lovely seafront of Porto Ercole, one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, just a few meters away from our boats. We are in the southern part of Monte Argentario.
Since 2006 Argentario Divers has been a landmark for those who dive along the coasts of Argentario, Giannutri and Giglio Islands.
Our diving center is quite large, with reception, dressing room, toilet and hot shower, storage shelves for your equipment, cabinets with lockers.
We meet the needs of divers at every level of experience.
What we do
Our diving center is open all year long and we offer all-round service: full day, guided dives and technical dives. And more… recreational, technical and professional courses, snorkeling tours.
For those who want to spend some days diving, we organize “Blue Weeks” too.
We are proud to be the first UTD Instructor Training Center in Italy, and we wait for you to dive with us.

Filling station
Our trimix and mixes filling station has been designed in collaboration with Matteo Amadori of Martin Sub Roma and Bauer Italy.
We feature a Bauer PE700 compressor with a BKOOL cooling system for air fills, an L&W 450 compressor for nitrox and trimix mixes and another L&W 450 onboard the ABRACADABRA boat.
We can also fill pure gases up to 200 bar of pressure thanks to 2 booster pumps provided by the MPS company.
Thanks to our additional filtering pipelines we can guarantee all the mixes we produce are oil-free, water-free and fully safe.
A Multigas Deox gas analyzer interfaced with the compressors is always reading in real time the values of Oxygen, Helium, CO, CO2, humidity and temperature.
If these values are outside our acceptable ranges the compressors shut down automatically.
TRIMIX FILLING STATION
The mixes are blended only within the limitations of the diver’s certification and only for strictly personal use.
When a customer collects the filled tanks they are required to analyze the mix, personally fill in the refill sticker and apply it on the tank and fill in and sign the gas fill ledger.
IMPORTANT: tanks that have their test date expired WILL NOT BE FILLED.
For mixes other than air a 24 hours notice is required.
