Highly recommended! Based on the reviews, my wife and I chose this company for our second scuba diving experience, and it turned out to be a perfect choice. Communication with both the owner(Xavier) and the instructor(Fernando) was excellent from the beginning. It was just the two of us in the group, which made the whole experience feel very comfortable and personal. The introductory dive took place in the port, which in my opinion is a much better option than doing it in a swimming pool. After checking that we were comfortable and able to manage everything, we went diving at a shipwreck. It was an amazing experience and we have wonderful memories from that day. One more big plus: GoPro videos were included in the price, which was a fantastic bonus. Overall, a great experience and I would definitely recommend them!

Amazing diving experience in Cape Verde! I completed 10 dives with the centre and everything was excellent: professional and friendly staff, great organisation, clear briefings and a strong focus on safety. The guides know the dive sites very well and made every dive enjoyable and special. I felt very welcome from the first day. Highly recommended. Thank you for an unforgettable week of diving — I would definitely come back!
