Full description

Your scuba diving adventure will begin with a short theory lesson about the practice of diving before doing your first trial in the shallow waters of the swimming pool.  Once you feel comfortable and know how to handle the equipment, you’ll be ready for the real deal. Your diving instructor will take you for a dive out in the sea to explore the spectacular underwater world of our private reef in the Funchal's Protected Area.

The dive itself will last about 45 minutes at a maximum depth of 12 meters. Our great location offers easy access to the reef, just a few steps away from our dive shop. This is a great and lovely dive, interesting for beginners and experienced divers to start discovering Madeira's waters. Encounters with octopuses, parrot fish, young groupers, garden eels, trumpet fish, rays, cuttlefish, sea horses and moray eels are all common. At the end of the tour, you’ll receive a certificate of participation to make your next underwater adventure an absolute breeze.

Absolutely amazing from start to finish. Staff were helpful, experienced and very patient. Expect to see a bunch of different fish, if lucky even rays and turtles. Our guide Sara was amazing, and did a great job of getting me over my fear of the ocean.

Great location and instructor. Raph gave us a proper in detail instruction and I felt well prepared for the dive. He was very patient and made sure that everyone’s ok at all times. Next time I'd book a longer dive as it was that much fun. Thanks again!
