Expectation more than exceeded with great professionals - If you plan to go diving, you have to do it with them, the instructors were professionals, always attentive, explaining everything perfectly, very patient with us who were newbies and great professionals. We will definitely repeat

Wonderful Instructors, Amazing Underwater Marine Life! - I did an SSI Refresher course and the next day, a double dive with this wonderful company. The Refresher course was with Ricardo, and although I hadn't dived in 25 years and was clumsy and incompetent, Ricardo was unendingly patient, kind and encouraging. He has a real gift for teaching, and knows how to correct the student, but make them feel good about their strong points at the same time. As a teacher myself, I plan on using his methods!
The next day I did one dive with Felipe and another with Artur. Both dives were magical - there is so much marine life in Arrabida Park that I felt I was swimming around in a National Geographic documentary! We saw schools of small and mid-sized fish, larger fish swimming calmly among the rock formations and beautifully-colored sea vegetation, flounder, a mid-sized octopus and a big female octopus chilling in her little cave house, surrounded by the empty shells of the oysters she'd eaten. Also different species of colorful crabs living together in the rock crevasses, starfish, urchins, etc. On the way back to port after the first dive, our boat was accompanied by leaping dolphins! It was so beautiful I cried! Felipe's face was a study in pure joy!
Ricardo, Felipe and Artur are INCREDIBLY good at their jobs - they are professional, positive, kind and amazingly patient and calming. I felt so well-looked-after at every moment, and they gave me useful advice on improving my skills in the future. Ricardo even taught me how they wash and store the equipment at the end of each dive, so the next day I was able to feel useful by participating in that process, which really completed the experience for me.
These people are absolute gems, and I can't recommend the experience with them enough. Thanks also to Inés in the office and Rudi, who keep the operation ticking. I am very grateful to all of you! I plan on returning next summer to see you again!
