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.

Best diving experience! - Simply incredible, from a super competent and friendly team, who manage to turn a new experience never done before (and not very scary) into something incredible that will remain in your memory forever. I highly recommend this team for both courses and diving trips.
