The love for the sea is not cultivated only with yachting, but also by knowing it deeply, by studying organisms that live in the sea surrounding our coast. Assonautica Bari, through its members committed in the development of underwater activities, helps to deepen the relationship between man and the sea in the social, economic, ecological, cultural field. The Association encourages all initiatives to promote a culture of respect of the sea as the heritage of our community. In this way, it promotes the practice of diving for recreational purposes and achieving sailing licenses recognized worldwide. Assonautica collaborates with the organization of events as a debating place, where people deepen and explores relevant topics of the scuba world as, for example, the diving safety, medical, technical, training, update of procedures.

The recreational diving today can be practiced by anyone, but it is still a discipline where there are strict rules that must be respected, both for the behavior in the sea and in compliance with an adequate state of health. A good early training is therefore very important to enter the world of diving. You must first obtain the basic patent (choosing between specialized or certified schools) and then get in touch and respect the system of diver education designed to develop skills and abilities of a diver. This can be enriched by the study and knowledge of animals, underwater photography, wreck diving, muck dive, etc.
