Enthusiastic dive guides and staff.
Positive that dive guides ask to show some skills on first dive.
If you have a buddy you can dive unguided on house reef, otherwise on classification with group, in that case the variety can be limited.
Once a week there is a night dive, very worthwhile.
Boat dives take place when there are enough participants.

Entry and exit into the water rather cumbersome, long way until equipment can be deposited.

An incredibly beautiful dive center with an excellent house reef. The organization is down to the last detail and thus very pleasant.
The team is knowledgeable and super friendly! Based on our wishes, they helped to map out a nice dive plan and gave advice on the most beautiful dive sites, which were all easily accessible by boat.
The boat surcharge, guide fee and nitrox surcharge at the end came somewhat unexpected. We overlooked this in our quotation. At the same time, since we have our own full diving equipment, we wonder what we have now prepaid for when we made the booking (a "package" of 10 dives).
Regardless of this issue, we highly recommend this dive center!

Super dive center with professional Bezreung and equipment. Only drawback: Only cash payments possible. I have not used the boat tour, so no rating.

Professional and friendly team with whom we felt safe, especially our children (17 and 14).
Very well equipped and organized center, with top-notch equipment.
Perhaps lacks a little diversity in the dive spots accessible from the center, making it inevitable to dive the same spot several times on the 10 to 11 outings we made.

They did not have a drinking water refill station.

Super friendly and highly qualified staff. All questions and concerns were answered in the best way. Super dive sites directly at the base, as well as accessible by boat. Only the area available to prepare for the dive and to store his equipment is cramped. But this is due to the great location directly on the cliff and was solved by dive team by the fact that the diving groups are always a little delayed starts.

An extremely nice relaxed vacation with excellent care by the dive base. Minus points in advance: A lot of steps due to the level differences on the steep coast and unfortunately little sun protection. The latter could be improved. Otherwise, top material, top people, top advice.

Excellent equipped dive center. The house reef alone offers very beautiful and interesting dive sites. The base staff including instructors are all highly professional and highly motivated. Diving is a lot of fun. Whether you are a single diver or a family, everyone is well catered for. From me there is an absolute recommendation. Waves and a little swell (Atlantic) you must not be afraid of course.

A very well run base with arranged guides. Sometimes a bit too crowded, which speaks for the base. Organization top. Typical Atlantic dive sites. If you are a little experienced, you can dive relaxed unguided. If the base was full, of course, the boat was also very full, but that was not a problem.

Although the dive center was very empty, Nitrox was not always available.
Exit with long long ladder is nix for divers with arthrosis.
Welcome DIVE was as expected due to the heterogeneous group no pleasure. With the low occupancy a group with experienced divers and a beginner group would be possible.

Very beautiful and diverse dive sites with caves, a wreck (a corvette that was sunk especially for divers) nearby, rich fish life etc.. But of course it is in the middle of the Atlantic and not Caribbean. Water temp. 22 degrees, air 25 in October.
Very, very nice people at the dive center. Guided diving tours as well as buddy diving (I always found a dive buddy for my own trips) and boat dives.

Dive center was rather disappointing for me. Mass handling, too many divers there, no assistance before or after the dive, very arduous ways to the entry point. To the dive boat you have to swim with full equipment and then sit on a completely overcrowded boat, with full gear, flask and weights, without a guide.
After checking out and paying you couldn't get rid of the feeling of just being a nuisance.

Hallo Achim,
danke für die Zusendung der Bewertung und die Möglichkeit zu der Bewertung Stellung zu nehmen..
Grundsätzlich ist es bei uns so, wie auch bei anderen europäischen Tauchbasen, dass die meisten Taucher in den Ferienzeiten kommen, vor allem in den Monaten August und September, so wie auch der Michael. Das bedeutet, dass man in diesen Zeiten natürlich keine Taucher abweisen kann, sonst kann niemand Wirtschaftlich überleben. In der Nebensaison kommen leider die wenigsten Taucher und wir haben auch nicht das ganze Jahr geöffnet.
Zudem kommt auch noch dazu, dass bis einschließlich Juli (wegen Corona, Impfungen, Risikogebiete etc.) noch viel weniger Taucher kamen als üblich und somit erst seit August wieder mehr los war und ist, als normalerweise üblich. Wir sind natürlich nicht unglücklich darüber, da wir wieder etwas von den Corona bedingten Verlusten reinholen können. Ich denke das ist nachvollziehbar.
Von der etwas erhöhten Tauchbasis zum Wasser ist es max. 1 Gehminute,

Boat dives sometimes not possible, because booked by apnea group / occupied, could be better solved, if necessary rent 2tes boat. Your advice, also for Azores, a 3 to 5 suit is sufficient, is a bit euphoric, my 5 was just enough, and I am not a frostbite. Rather 7s and head hood !!!

We had a great time at the freediving camp.
Mantadiving Madeira is highly recommended
Stefan and Sittika organized everything perfectly.
The team was always very friendly and helpful. So we had a great time with Free Diving under the expert guidance of Sittika, Stefan and of course Nik.

Class diving center with family environment. Many dive sites are reached by boat but there is also a house reef with 3 dive sites that you can explore on your own or in a guided group.
