The diving areas within the underwater 'Nature Reserve' are the cleanest in Madeira, offering a wide diversity of marine life. They are all easily accessible and only minutes away by boat. Two times a day we go out by boat. We have a weekly diveplan that can change sometimes, depending on the weather. So you can decide for your self, what spot you want to visit.
We also offer: Wreck-, Night-, Cave-, Photo- and Video-Dives. |
