Sorrento

Sorrento sits along the Tyrrhenian Sea in Campania, a gateway town for exploring the Amalfi Coast and nearby dive sites. It’s a popular base for coastal scuba days trips to nearby reefs, walls, and wrecks along the Tyrrhenian coast, with a handful of local dive centers offering courses, equipment rental, and boat departures. The area offers warm Mediterranean conditions in season, clear water, and typical Mediterranean marine life, with better diving access from late spring to autumn. For freshwater options, Banyoles Lake is in the region but not in Sorrento itself; divers often travel to inland sites for training or dives outside the coast. As a historic town with good access to ferry routes and road links, Sorrento functions as a practical base for combining culture, cuisine, and diving along the Campanian coast.
