The guides were just brilliant. Really supportive, really chilled, really fun. Don't expect the great barrier reef, but some lovely local fish and an atmospheric snorkel around the steep underwater cliffs. Supported me as a solo woman, till I found my groove and was off.
The guidance was very friendly, enthusiastic and helpful. It immediately put us at ease. The snorkeling was a fantastic experience that we will definitely do again!
A caring team from start to finish! Furthermore, the photos allow you to keep a good memory of the activity!
Nice crew and equipment, but poor diving. Little fish to see and little life on the sea bottom. Much better diving just outside the freshwater pool by the hotel. By mask and snorkel and try that instead.
Hi, thank you for diving with us and for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re happy to hear you enjoyed our crew and equipment. Marine life, however, can vary from day to day depending on conditions, tides, and seasons, and we’re sorry that this dive didn’t meet your expectations. We always aim to choose the best available sites, but nature sometimes surprises us. The spot you mentioned near the hotel can indeed offer great snorkeling on the right day — Madeira has many different underwater environments, each with its own character. If you decide to join us again, please reach out—we’d love to recommend a different dive site better suited to what you’re hoping to see. Wishing you great future dives.
Affordable price for a sufficient duration of activities. The facilitators were very fun and entertaining, all in a pleasant atmosphere! We highly recommend this activity for a great time!
Good vibes, friendly instructors, clean equipment and beautiful view. The whole trip lasted about one and a half hours.
It was awesome! The boat ride was fun, the guides were amazing, and we saw so many fish and crabs! The water was way calmer than expected, too.
Toller Tripp! Super nice crew and also very professional. Good equipment, lots of explanations, fun boat tour. Plus: clean public showers around the corner and free underground parking 100m away. Very good value for money
Thank you to Esme for her Welcoming and wonderful time. All three are very professional and attentive. Thank you very much.
A very interesting expedition with knowledgeable and friendly people. You can see the ocean's underwater life and Cape St. Lawrence from a different perspective.
