A different dive... not in the sea .. between the STARS - It's the second year that I enjoy the astronomical evening proposed by Vittorio, I gave top marks, but there is no maximum, because you can not evaluate this experience, you have to feel it, feel the sea that is the background to the wonderful stories of Vittorio, astronomical and mythological, listen to Mr. Silence and look at that stellar immensity and get lost. It's a special moment. Don't miss it.

Vittorio Arnò, a must-see in Ustica! - Ustica is a wonderful island, perfect for those who want to enjoy a still uncontaminated sea rich in fauna and flora. The meeting with Vittorio Arnò, naturalistic Guide Justicese doc, enriched our visit giving meaning to everything seen and making it taste in full. We did with him astronomical excursion, snorkeling and geological excursion. Very competent, in love with his island and devoted to its protection and the preservation of local traditions, Vittorio manages to interest young and old and to keep the attention awake with a clear exposition, which promotes the understanding of scientific arguments, alternating a pleasant sense of humor that lightens the contents. If you pass by Ustica Vittorio is a must;-) Simonetta, Enrico and Flavio

Very fun experience - Vittorio (the Guide) is a person who knows how to entertain the people around him. He was very thorough in the astronomical explanation and managed to keep the focus thanks to irony. Recommendation this visit because it deserves.
