I’m an experienced diver and I have a young child did a try dive with, Joana Santos, the owner of the dive center. I communicated with Bea few weeks before our trip to organise everything. She was prompt and kind and easy going. All prices was fixed and no surprises. Joao picked me up from the hotel and back to the dive center to get kits all sorted. Everything was organised and we only had small group. I did two boat dives with Fernando and we saw countless of fish, a few large lemon sharks, turtles and stingrays. The small cave dive was simply great. Fish everywhere and don’t move and no stress like the locals on land. It is not a luxurious pimped up dive school but solid authentic dive school who knows their stuff. If you are expecting a luxurious yacht and aircon transport this is a center not for you. I love everything about them and my little boy felt confident and safe in Joao’s try dive lesson. It was almost two instructors to one for my son which I cannot ask for more. When they both surface with a beaming smile on their faces I cannot be a more happier mother. Thank you Joao and your team. You’ve made our holiday special and some great memories.
PS we have a dive center right by our Hotel Meliá Dunas and I carefully weighted up and went with SMDC due to their friendliness and focus on scuba diving rather than hard selling other trips.

Had an amazing experience diving down to a shipwreck followed by a few small caves. I'm quite a novice diver and was a bit nervous at first, but Miguel was incredibly patient and ensured that I decended as safely as possible. He also pointed out so many beautiful creatures including lemon sharks and stingrays making it unforgettable experience, I highly recommend!

The people were super nice and helped with all the gear. In the boat a good explanation of the dive we were going to do. The instructor showed all the fish and we also saw turtles. Very good guide, I would recommend diving here.

This was my first time diving, I was a bit scared at first but Miguel (the diving instructor) and his team explained everything very well and put us at ease. We started in shallow water and went deeper bit by bit. We saw a lot of beautiful fish in the clear water, it really was a nice experience. Would recommend!

After 16 months without diving, i wish diving in a diferent destination and Cape Verde was the perfect option. Lush marine life where i found Turtles, tunas, lobsters, Sting Rays, schools of tropical fishes, and much more.
Miguel and Thierry are very friendly dive instructor a and did everything to show me the best dive spots in Sal Island.
Thank you very much
