PADIschool by Underwater Academy Europe was born from a deep passion for the ocean, a strong commitment to scuba diving education, and the desire to share the extraordinary experience of the underwater world with others.
At the heart of this project is Francesco Cordone, known by many in the diving community as CeSco.
His story in the world of diving is built on experience, training, and thousands of hours spent in the water teaching others how to explore the ocean safely and responsibly.
After more than thirty years dedicated to teaching scuba diving, CeSco has become a reference point for many divers who have started or developed their diving journey under his guidance.
A Life Dedicated to Diving
CeSco’s journey in scuba diving education began many years ago and has developed through various experiences within the international diving training community.
Before joining the global family of the Professional Association of Diving Instructors, he served as a Federal Trainer for the Confédération Mondiale des Activités Subaquatiques, contributing to the training and development of numerous divers.
In November 2009, he reached one of the most important milestones of his career by becoming a PADI Instructor, opening a new chapter in his professional path.
Today he is a PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor and PADI Freediving Trainer, and he continues to dedicate his experience to training new divers and supporting the growth of the diving community.
A Project Born from Experience
PADIschool was created with the idea of building a place where everyone can feel welcomed and supported throughout their diving journey.
It is not simply a diving school, but a space where experience, knowledge, and passion for the ocean come together to provide high-quality training based on the international standards of the Professional Association of Diving Instructors.
Every course, every dive, and every training activity is designed to provide students not only with technical skills, but also with awareness, safety, and respect for the ocean.
Our Mission
The mission of PADIschool is to make scuba diving accessible, safe, and meaningful for everyone.
We believe that learning to dive is much more than acquiring techniques and procedures.
It means discovering a new way of seeing the ocean, understanding the importance of marine ecosystems, and living experiences that stay with you for a lifetime.
Through high-quality scuba training programs, we guide each student along their journey, from the very first breath underwater to the most advanced levels of diving education.
Our Philosophy
Our philosophy is based on three fundamental pillars.
Safety
Safety is the most important value in diving.
All our activities are organized according to internationally recognized training standards and well-established operational procedures.
Experience and Training
We believe in training built on real experience, where knowledge is shared and passed on with passion.
Respect for the Ocean
The ocean is at the heart of everything we do.
We actively promote the culture of marine conservation through educational projects and initiatives dedicated especially to younger generations.
Involving children and teenagers in discovering the ocean means helping to build a future where more people become guardians of the seas.
