First ever experience with diving, instructors & everyone involved were friendly, professional, funny and good people! Loved my course and would 100% recommend to anyone. If I had the time I’d definitely use them to do my PADI license.

This experience was my 1st time and it was amaizing. The team is incredible and I had a great time. For first-timers, it's a really good service with lots of explanations. I advise you to take the photo/video pack, the images are incredible and it makes a great souvenir. Don't be afraid of the language barrier (my instructor spoke perfect French).

We had a great experience with cabo Verde diving! Great staff and We dove near an old shipwreck with plenty of fish, stingrays and a little shark. Also the filming and photography done by the company was amazing.

From start to finish the staff and training were excellent. Very friendly and knowledgeable. I felt safe and in good hands. We saw lots of fish, nurse shark, stingray, turtles and an abundance of others. I went back and did another dive a couple of days later at half the price.

Great diving center! A team of true professionals who will guide you through everything and instruct you on how to behave underwater. Even if you are not an experienced diver and want to give it a try, this place is perfect for that. First, I received thorough instructions and a theoretical explanation, then we practiced everything in the pool before embarking on an unforgettable underwater dive! The diving location is stunning, surrounding a sunken ship which has become a home to many fish. It was an exhilarating and fascinating experience! If you don't have an underwater camera, I highly recommend availing the services of a photographer who will accompany you throughout the dive. A big thank you to my instructor Kuchu and underwater photographer Jorge! These guys are true professionals! They made my dive unforgettable!

A fantastic all round experience. My wife, son (11) and myself did the try dive experience. My wife and myself have not dived before my son has his junior PADi. The staff were amazing and constantly put us at ease. We did the initial training in the pool whish was for about 20 minutes. Making sure we could safely use the equipment. We then had a break for a couple of hours to get lunch. When we returned we were driven to Santa Maria and then took a boat to the dive site which was a ship wreck. Unfortunately my son was sea.sick and unable to dive. Safety comes first and the recommended he didn't but ultimately it was out decision. I went down solo with the dive instructor, who I can't compliment enough. He was awesome and kept me constantly at ease and relaxed. The dive itself was amazing. Plenty of marine life to be seen, schools of puffer fish, pipe fish, moray eels and even a shark. Can't thank you guys enough. Will be doing my PADi myself and will hopefully return to dive in Cape Verde with you guys again. Awesome!!!

This was the highlight of my holiday without doubt. The instruction and skills practice in the morning was excellent, with lots of health and safety considerations. The afternoon session we joined another small group, there were 9 divers in total with lots of reassurance and support. The experience of diving on a reef in Cabo Verde was magical! Thank you so much x

We had a great day despite initially being quite afraid of the concept of breathing underwater. We took the Discover scuba diving course, for complete beginners. The instructor both figuratively and literally held our hands when needed throughout the day. The course was perfectly balanced to be challenging as well as making us feel completely safe. The first part of the day was a short theory session on safety and the equipment and then some practice in a pool. In the afternoon we went by boat to a dive site in the ocean with several other divers of varying experience levels. We were grouped according to experience level and the beginner groups was max three persons per instructor. It felt very safe and we didn't feel pressured at any point, just encouraged and supported. It was amazing to experience being underwater and seeing fish and other animals just going about their day while we swam past!
