Amazing dive! - Had an amazing experience diving down to a shipwreck followed by a few small caves. I'm quite a novice diver and was a bit nervous at first, but Miguel was incredibly patient and ensured that I decended as safely as possible. He also pointed out so many beautiful creatures including lemon sharks and stingrays making it unforgettable experience, I highly recommend!

A dive to remember - The people were super nice and helped with all the gear. In the boat a good explanation of the dive we were going to do. The instructor showed all the fish and we also saw turtles. Very good guide, I would recommend diving here.

Excellent - This was my first time diving, I was a bit scared at first but Miguel (the diving instructor) and his team explained everything very well and put us at ease. We started in shallow water and went deeper bit by bit. We saw a lot of beautiful fish in the clear water, it really was a nice experience. Would recommend!

Amazing Dives with Turtles - After 16 months without diving, i wish diving in a diferent destination and Cape Verde was the perfect option. Lush marine life where i found Turtles, tunas, lobsters, Sting Rays, schools of tropical fishes, and much more. Miguel and Thierry are very friendly dive instructor a and did everything to show me the best dive spots in Sal Island. Thank you very much

Great dive centre - Really enjoyed the dive. Was able to see quite a lot of different types of fish and the master diver was really helpful, as I hadn't been diving in a very long time.

Fantastic diving and fantastic diving center 😊 - Lovely staff who are all totally friendly, welcoming and competent. We should have an advanced diving course and a test dive for a complete beginner, respectively. And everything was settled to perfection. We felt 100% safe and in extremely competent hands. Of the 8-10 different locations around the world where we have been, this has been the best diving center. And on top of wreck dives and dives in caves, we were lucky to dive with a large shoal of yellowfin tuna 🐠🐳🐢 We hope to come back and dive more with you, it has been a great experience 😊
