Incredible experience - I took the Open Water Diver course in November and it was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. It was an immediate passion and I discovered a new hobby! :)) I just regret not starting earlier! I was very eager to evolve in diving and take more courses and all this thanks to the experience I had at Arrábida Experiences. It all begins when at the reception we are greeted by the contagious and genuine joy of Catherine. The instructors, all of them, are very good, are experienced, attentive, available to answer all our questions, adapt to our pace... finally make us feel well received, from the first day. The Rudi, owner of the space is also available and it is noted that he has a lot of affection for the school. I thank my diving instructors, Artur, Filipe, Inês, Thiago and Colaço, for raising my interest in the fascinating world of diving. Thank you! I hope to dive and learn a lot more with you this year. 🫧🤿❤️

Great Diving Experience - I chose 'Arrabida Experiences' from a number of options in the area. It was a great choice. I did 1 refresher dive with Raquel and 2 further dives with Rudi. All the staff were fantastic; they were professional but friendly, spoke very good English and answers all my questions. The facilities were very good and all equipment was excellent. Although I was a qualified diver it was a few years since my last dive. Raquel, who did my first refresher dive with me, was friendly, listened to me, put me at ease and was a great dive buddy. Rudi was also excellent. This is their business but at no time did I feel I was just a customer. If you are new to diving or returning, as I was, I would highly recommend this company. Thanks Arrabida Experiences.
