This was such a perfect activity! We were with a group of 5 & 4 from the center. Before we got on the boat to get to the diving location, we got a short but helpful introduction about the basics of scuba diving, with the remark that during this time of the year the visibility isn't that great. We got our gear and went on the boat: the vibe was relaxed. First 3 others went in, all with their own experienced diver. While we waited on the boat for our turn, we could go snorkeling and later get ready with someone from the center, who was very chatty and eased my nerves as well (my first time diving). We then went in and even though the visibility wasn't perfect, in 30 minutes we saw so much sealife including beautiful fishes, octupus and starfish. I was nervous because my ears tend to hurt due to pressure differences, but my guide Benardo helped me and we just went a little bit slower. My partner already had his PADI, so his guide let him roam more freely, which was perfect! Would recomm.

Where should I begin?! I booked this diving center randomly but after my personal experience I recommend them 200% They provide one to one diving assistance compared to other centers. Ivo,Rodrigo,Ricardo and their entire team is patient, kind and want the people to learn and enjoy the diving experience. I will come back soon. On our 1st day, due to weather conditions, we we went in water but after 2hrs the weather changed so we had to reschedule. They were really sweet to book us on another day. I am really grateful to them to overcome my fear of going underwater. Thank you so much Rodrigo & Ivo, hope to see you next summer.

Dived with my 16 year old son. I had previously signed up for a 'try it dive' back in the London in a swimming pool, but had a bad experience (instructors not watching) so was a bit anxious about trying this. However, wanted to get my son off the Wii Switch to broaden his horizons. The experience was fantastic. The staff are very professional, you never feel in danger as you are assigned a personal guide to ensure you are safe whom also point out all the eels, octopus, etc around the dive area, continually providing reassurance. We enjoyed it soo much, my son and I are going to sign up for a PADI course when we return to the UK. Thanks guys you were excellent, an experience we will never forget.
