Moving to Naples, Italy

Hello Scubaboard, Its been a while!

So I am moving back to the coast shortly and need help on diving info. I will be moving to Naples, Italy for about 7 months. If there are any clubs, dive shops, or special dive spots in the area you can guide me too?

I am a huge wreck and cave diver. I enjoy more challenging dives. Drift and wall dives are a close second to me. Any suggestions on wetsuit? Do the Italians do their gauges in Bar or ATM? Are they mostly DIN valves? I will be bringing my own BC, Reg, Computer, Mask, and fins. Just need weight, tanks, and suit.

If there any companies, dive clubs, or people that just wanna dive in Italy area please PM or post in this thread. Thanks a lot!

Many questions

200 km south of Naples there is Palinuro: lot of caves.

Wrecks: Go here to find wrecks. It's one of italian best web sites about wrecks (in english too)

Wetsuit: I can just say that from November to May a drysuit can be better, after a wetsuit can be ok. But it depends a lot on you. The water temperatures can vary a lot: about 12°-13° in winter and 23°-25° in summer.

Bar o ATM: the gauges are in bar, but there is a big difference between the two measures? As far as I know 1 bar is 0,987 ATM.

DIN: ok everywhere. All my regulators are DIN.

Weights and tank are always included in the cost of the dive.

Other questions?

Ciao.
