I stay in Sardinia for couple of weeks and i manage to do some dive with Area11 in La Maddalena. Very nice experience indeed. Staff very attentive, funny, professional and young. They create a welcome environment and make you feel "at home" even if you are travelling by yourself. Worth the stop also for the beauty of the sea above and below water. Thank you Area11 staff and see you next time!

I was in La Maddalena in middle of August, with my wife and we wanted to enjoy some dive, since the see is fantastic there !
My wife has advance certificate, but not many dives.
So we went to Area11 to ask information and we explained that she needs attention for that.
Not a problem for them. But they didn’t check our certificates or our logbooks !
So we tried the equipment and booked for the day after double diving.
When we went for the dive they gave wrong boots to my wife, too big. At diving point it was all very fast. NO BODY CHECK (and we said my wife has not much experience). They just said her to jump. So she lost immediately one fin, because of the big boots. They gave another, but it was impossible to fix, loosing continuously. The BCD was not well fixed as well, the tank moving, etc. So the all diving was a disaster. Then the dive master said her not to do the second dive, because she needs practice (we were there for that !!!).
Then additional surprise arrived at the bill, when we had to pay both dives, additional costs not explained, plus . . . no credit card, otherwise they had to add taxes !!!
So I strongly recommend to search for other diving centers. In La Maddalena or Palau. Area11 is just trying to make as much as possible money. At least in the high season.
If you are quite expert and everything goes well, it’s ok. But professionality is everything in this kind of business.
Probably they will reply that it was all our fault, my wife was not prepared, etc. But I wanted anyway to advise other people. Unfortunately I didn’t read Tripadvisor before to go, otherwise I was finding some similar comment.
