- First a big thank you to everyone at Madeira Divepoint for making our latest holiday so enjoyable. We dive here twice a year & we keep coming back because this is a very safe dive centre with excellent customer service. They cater for all levels of recreational diver, from complete beginners to the most experienced. They have access to a swimming pool for courses & a lovely house reef right in front of the dive centre for those needing, or wanting, an easy, shallow dive. Their rental equipment is in very good condition. All the staff are very friendly & helpful. Even though the dive centre was very busy some days we were always well looked after. If you get the chance, do a night dive - there is so much to see on the house reef at night. We saw octopus, cuttlefish, lobster, crabs, shrimp, rays & a seahorse plus various fish. In addition to diving, the dive centre also has kayaks & stand-up paddle boards for hire. They do organised snorkelling trips & other boat trips so there is plenty for those who don’t dive to do.

Great dive center - highly recommended - Together with our daughter we participated in three dives from and with the diving school/base "Madeira Divepoint" during our holiday in Madeira. We were welcomed from the first minute absolutely friendly and courteous by a professional and always good-humoured team who speaks Portuguese, German, English, French... All were at all times concerned that the guests feel comfortable, answered all questions patiently, inquired about the well-being etc. Before each dive, a comprehensive briefing was conducted, during which the dive was discussed in detail, the hand signals explained again, the procedure for entry and exit was explained, etc. Personal sensitivities (diving anxiety) were also addressed professionally and appreciatively and an additional dive guide was provided. The dive spots we visited (Carlton House Reef, Garajao, Wreck Afonso) were fantastic. Don't be put off by the fact that the diving school is not signposted. Access to Madeira Divepoint is provided by Hotel Carlton. The staff there are happy to help on request and describe the way (once through the foyer, with the elevator down to the pool and with another elevator down to the Atlantic pool, where the diving school is also located). We can really recommend the diving school without restriction! Thank you for the great time with you!
