Unforgettable dive at Abades with Cedric — turtles, octopus and more!
We had the most fantastic diving experience with Scubanana at Abades. From start to finish our guide Cedric was brilliant — patient, professional and clearly passionate about the ocean. His care and attention were particularly important as we were diving with a junior PADI diver, and he made sure everyone felt safe and confident throughout (he even 'rescued' me from the waves at the end, ha ha!).
The sea life was incredible: turtles, cuttlefish, an octopus, and even a small ray made an appearance, amongst so much other fabulous marine life.
What made us choose Scubanana was their PADI Aware programme, promoting care and awareness as divers — we did the turtle awareness experience and it made the dive feel even more special and meaningful.
Thank you Cedric and the Scubanana team — we couldn't recommend you more highly. We'll be back!

Higly recommended dive center!
Top dive center - highly recommended! We are experienced divers and did some guided dives and also a freediving course. Top gear, top stuff and a really nice place to dive and freedive there. We saw nearly every time barracudas in the water and much more!

Diving for the environment
I was my first guest at the Scubanana dive center. During my trip on the Mein Schiff 7, I had already organized everything from home, and the transfer from Santa Cruz to Radazul went completely smoothly. On the basis I was received very friendly and received a detailed introduction: Showers, changing rooms and the areas for cleaning the equipment were shown to me.
I was on site for a special where we cleaned the house reef of garbage. Afterwards, there was an exciting presentation on the topic of the environment. After the dive, snacks were offered and a small competition was held to match the theme.

March diving
Had 2 fantastic dives on Friday 13th march and it was brilliant. Ryan was a great guide who knew where to take us for best visibility etc. Rented equipment from the shop that was top quality and really looked after.
To add to the day they offer a pickup and drop off service at the cruise terminal.
Definitely recommend

Friendly and professional
We went on 5 guided dives with the Scubanana team and were not disappointed. Everyone who works there is friendly and laid back but at the same time very professional. The two guides that took us out (Ryan and Daniel) were excellent. They knew the dive sites like the back their hand and were able to easily deal with mixed groups of varying skill and experience, both in and out of the water. This made for some excellent dives with many different species of fish etc., encountered, including a Manta ray which was probably the highlight of the entire trip. Good job Scubanana, hopefully I'll be back next year.

Professional, safety oriented and very well organised
A young but professional, very well organised and extremely helpful team.
I am a technical driver so always look how safety minded are people, organisation and equipment and I liked very much what I saw. I can sincerely recommend the Scubanana team.

Beautiful dive with great staff!
It was a fantastic experience. We had booked the taster dive as a couple. Our "dive instructor" was Kathi. We first got a thorough briefing on the most important points when diving. Afterwards we were shown the equipment and dressed up. Afterwards we walked a few meters in the harbour to the "boarding point". It was fantastic to be introduced to diving in such a playful yet very professional way. The about 40 minutes underwater we could both fully enjoy. Although we were both a little nervous before the dive (first dive), Kathi made us feel absolutely in control. And always friendly and helpful and without giving the feeling of being a beginner. We were carefully considered and adapted to our level. It was a wonderful experience to be able to observe nature and the many animals underwater so close.
I highly recommend the dive for anyone who wants to have an unforgettable experience. Anytime again.
