Very professional team - A very professional diving team . They start with a theory session then followed by a practice in the pool and then 30 minutes dive in ocean. We were 10 people in our group and there was one instructor per 2 people. The instructor was holding our hands entire time in the ocean dive. I felt safe and enjoyed underwater experience.

Incredible! - Me and my partner loved the ocean and love scuba diving, easy divers helped make it so so easy for us! They gave a a brief but detailed explanation of what we need to do and how to do it, then we went out into the sea! We saw a beautiful underwater museum and so many amazing and different fish, we been saw an octopus and a huge crab! Would 1000% recommend to any new or experienced divers. I can’t remember the names of the members of staff that we dived with but they were incredible, helped us throughout the entire experience and answered all the questions we had.

Amazing and intense experience - Professional and fun staff that helped put us at ease and gave us a comprehensive theory session. Great facilities that includes lockers and showers (but bring a towel!). Felt safe at all times during the dive, although it was quite physically intensive as the water was cold and abit murky. Saw lots of fish, some eels and even an octopus! Overall, a fantastic experience!

Incredible experience, to be repeated for sure. - Objective and complete course and practical class, clearly informing all the actions evaluated and necessary for your safety at sea. The instructors, in addition to ensuring that you are able to meet the diving requirements, are kind and help to break down the pre-dive tension. Quality equipment and modern boat. The diving takes place in an incredible area, I highly recommend it!! Thanks to Paulo and Scoty who were super helpful and attentive!!

Highly Recommended! - Highly recommended! You can tell that the team really enjoys their work. From start to finish, everyone was more than friendly, in a good mood and very competent. The explanations were understandable and the instructions in the pool and in the sea were perfect. During the dive, our diving instructor Richardo led us through the reef and showed us fish, rays, octopuses, moray eels, etc. Really overwhelming!

Exceeded my every expectation! - The instructors are very friendly and professional. They stuck a great balance between creating a fun, informal atmosphere while ensuring our safety and taking good care of us. An instructor named Raul was especially cool. The dive was incredible; we had the opportunity to visit some of Europe's most beautiful seas. Great experience for beginners, more than worth the money.

this service is not suitable for beginners - I would not recommend this experience at all. They do not train you and just reject in the indoor pool itself claiming that you wont be able to survive in the sea. 4 out of the 6 people who had signed up in our batch for the scuba diving session could not really get to the sea. They were rejected initially only and they do not refund the money as well. Viator has also been terribly poor with the service levels on complaints. All in all, this service is not suitable for beginners at all. They spend 15 mins in the indoor pool and expect us to use the equipment thoroughly. If we cant, they forfeit the money. Thats basically their income / they loot the money. 4 out of 6 people could not do the scuba diving and they scammed the money!
