A great diving experience with a professional team, and great diving spots. - After getting my SSI open water diver brevet in the Netherlands, I booked my first sea diving experience @carboverdediving. From the first moment I arrived the feeling was good and safe. I booked 2 days with a total of 4 dives. The diving spots were amazing and I have seen the most amazing underwater wildlife, from dolphins, stingrays, sharks, turtles to a giant manta ray. During the boottrip and dive the support of the crew was great, with a big commitment to Jorge Andrade who made the total diving experience perfect.

Great Team and dives! - I did the intro to diving (as it had been four years since my last dive and if it has been more than one year since your last dive they ask that you complete this) along with three ocean dives. The instructors and staff at Cabo Verde Diving were really relaxed, friendly and created a positive atmosphere both above and below water. I saw stonefish, pufferfish, a shark, a ray, turtles and more. it was a brilliant reintroduction to scuba and I would recommend going with Cabo Verde Diving! The whole experience was simply marvellous!

Fully recommended, a 10 - Wonderful! An amazing experience. It was our first time and we couldn’t feel safer and more wrapped up by the whole team. Stephanie our monitor a 10; super attentive, patient and charming. They also offer a photographer service that has to be paid for in part but, it is very worth it, the photos are amazing and they even made us a video with all the short videos they recorded us! Fully recommended:)

Highly recommended for everyone! - In July me and my partner dived with Cano Verde Diving. What struck us immediately was that it is mega relaxed here and the people are super nice and they take time for you - no hurry. We could immediately go for a swim that afternoon. We could choose whether we were picked up from our hotel. Then we did 2 more dives in a morning. Despite the fact that they could not be told exactly where we were going in advance because of the currents, they took into account the places we had already been. The explanation and briefing was very clear and was quietly told so you got all the information right. While building up our equipment we also got some tips, which for someone who has not dived very much yet is nice and gives confidence. Also before/during/after the dives we got some good tips and explanations to improve our diving experiences. We felt nice and at ease because of this we enjoyed our last dives on Sal a lot of the underwater world. Thank you so much for these experiences Cabo Verde Diving!

No respect for the diver - Let's start with the positive: The dives are interesting, framing them are smiling and friendly, the sky is blue and the sea is beautiful. Unfortunately for us, this did not offset the negatives. In addition to a misleading website, this club suffers from a significant safety problem and a Dive Day Reservation problem. After diving several times in Cape Verde with the excellent club near Pension Morabezza, we decided to explore new sites with the club associated with Melias Dunas. On their website there are immediately highlighted 4 particular sites in the north of the Island named “Buracona, Regona, Dois alhas and Langosta verde”. We chose this Pension/Club duo to make them. During our 12 night stay (we had planned at least 16 dives), it was impossible to do one of these sites (they are 2 par2). As soon as we arrive we learn that there must be at least 6. During various dives carried out with this club, we had an end of non-reception by the various dive supervisors. No effort to pass the info or put an Information Rating to find other divers. Finally we were told that these sites are not made from September for pseudo security issues (we will talk about this later). The least honesty would be to indicate this information on the website or to say it on the first day. Then we could have packed up our diving gear (and our euros) and tried to find another club. Another problem was the inability to dive several days (especially for the 2 consecutive morning dives) due to lack of space. In 25 years of diving, this is the first time this has happened to us. For example, we are told on a Saturday (the club is closed on Sunday) that our Monday Reservation is cancelled because they are sold out as on Wednesday. In short, instead of 16 planned dives during the stay it was only 9. The last point to highlight is the lightness of the dive safety briefings. No information on emergency procedures if a diver has a problem and needs to return in an emergency. For example, sometimes the zodiac puts the 2 palanques on two different and distant sites. A dive to 40 meters (no problem for us with more than 400 sorties) is announced once we arrive at the site without worrying if everyone had the proper certification (and this was obviously not the case). In short, a diving holiday to forget. In the end, there is no respect for the diver, who is only considered to be a euro distributor.
