Good intro to diving - First time scuba diving and felt very comfortable with the experience thanks to the instructor Scotch. He made us feel very comfortable and confident. Would recommend to anyone who has never gone scuba diving before

Diving note 1000 - Azul diving has great professionals and personalized service. Perfect instruction with Rafael Zacari, which provided us with a lot of security for our first dive. Thank you to everyone involved.

Beautiful UW world of Madeira - The booking process was easy, ahead of arriving into Madeira. The dive centre was a 10min walking from Savoy Palace. The team was very friendly and helpful. Boat dives to the nature reserve and Alfonso shipwreck. Lots of marine life to see and enjoy. Remember, this is the Atlantic Ocean, a 7.5mm semi dry wetsuit + hood should suffice or drysuit (if you’ve done the dry suit course). Special thanks to Cecil (owner) and Anna with all the admin stuff and help.

Great diving experience - Great experience and our guide Samuele was very helpful. I had never been diving before but with his help I learned the basics quickly and it was totally worth it! I would like to do some more diving again soon.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE - Such a great diving center. I have been diving a lot in the world but this place is special. First, the staff is amazing, super nice and easy going. Second, they prepare all your equipment on the boat, you just have to enjoy. Third, their equipment is new and they even include a computer on the equipment (I always had to pay an extra everywhere else). Fourth, the dive sites are AMAZING 😍😍😍.And fifth, I saw a turtle, my dream ❤️

Great diving! - I had two awesome dives yesterday. Azul Diving is a very professionally run dive shop. My guide Scotch was very safety minded and checked on us throughout the dives. We had a large grouper swimming with us which was amazing! I highly recommend this company!

4 Great days - We had a very good time with Azul Diving overall!! The first impact was a bit rough on a Monday morning but I guess it happens. The team is great, funny and patient, they all worked very hard to give us the best experience and accommodate our needs during our 4 days with them. They have equipment for many sizes so no need to worry if you haven't got your own. Great experience on the wreck dive, also we loved Garajau Arena. Thank you Azul Diving for a great time.

Irresponsible guide - Didn't have a pleasant dive. At check-in we were not given a dive computer, we were told: it doesn't matter, just stick with the guide. Once underwater, however, after 30 minutes the guide indicated that we had to go up; he did another round with those with more air. So we were sent to the surface as 5 novice divers (all with around 10 dives experience) without a guide or dive computer. As a result, I was unable to do a proper safety stop. We thought this was really irresponsible.
