The waters around the island of Boa Vista, in Cape Verde, are teeming with wildlife and reefs. Don't miss the chance to see them up close with this introductory scuba-diving session, which is run at a professional dive centre with certified guides. Transfers are included, so you'll be picked up and dropped off at your hotel. You can choose from morning or afternoon sessions – each one consists of a safety briefing and two dives, including one in open water.

Amazing experience start to finish. Fantastic instructor they are all very knowledgeable and explained everything really well. I would highly recommend doing this.

1. Verbesserungstipps das VOR der Buchungen der Fragebogen zugeschickt wird. Vom Anbieter gelesen und geantwortet viele da viele Punkte / Kriterien es verhindern. So spart man sich die Fahrt vom Hotel zum Anbieter und zurück 😉 2. Es sollte , wenn man nur im 1.Probebecken schwimmt, weniger zahlen als die die dann in die Tiefe gehen. 3. Leider wurden keine Bilder gemacht, trotz mehrfachem fragen, was dann am Ende enttäuschend war.

Der diving instructor war sehr aufmerksam und hat durchgängig auf unsere Sicherheit geachtet. Man hatte das Gefühl, dass ihm die Sicherheit der Gäste wirklich am Herzen lag. Die Ausrüstung wirkte ordentlich und gepflegt. Insgesamt war es eine rundum schöne Erfahrung die ich gerne wiederholen würde.

Guides were really friendly and made the activity fun and made sure the safety was always the top priority. Dive was really good but maybe not suitable for a lot of people due to panic related reasons underwater.

Malgré un vent assez soutenu, l'expérience fut très agréable. On est mis en confiance dès notre arrivée.
