Staff

Paolo and Ann, the proprietors of the Profondo Blu Diving Centre and Resort both have extensive knowledge of all the diving sites around Ustica and enjoy personally accompanying guests on dives.
They are also both actively involved in running the Resort and coordinating activities in the evenings.

It would of course be impossible to keep everything running smoothly without a dynamic well-spirited team and the seasonal collaboration of their children, Giovanni and Gaia and their fun-loving longstanding friends of the family, Beppe and Simone.
Maria, our particularly treasured cook, also takes care of the housekeeping at the resort.
