😠 Have been diving with them last summer and it left me with a very bad taste. The female-owner is not punctual (she was arriving late at our appointments) and they (way over)charged us additional costs of which we had not been made aware of beforehand. I see that it is a difficult time for dive shops... People often mention dive, diving, experience, time, Janina, recommend, professional, amazing, great, friendly,

    Have been diving with them last summer and it left me with a very bad taste. The female-owner is not punctual (she was arriving late at our appointments) and they (way over)charged us additional costs of which we had not been made aware of beforehand. I see that it is a difficult time for dive shops considering COVID and all but this is not the way to earn money since it’s quite unfair. Never had this experience before with any other dive center. Not a good experience and I would not recommend diving with them

    Exceptional Dive Center Professional Staff, modern equipment. Nina organized everything at very short notice. Our Diving guide Wolfram was very helpful and safety conscious. Would definitely return here. Other dive centres in the Algarve a bit slow at responding to emails but not here. We dived at Sagres by boat and was excellent diving and underwater sea life.

    Such an amazing dive school in Carvoeiro!! We had the best experience diving with Janina. Their equipment is all very new and professional. Janina and her husband are super friendly and very easy to communicate with. Janina took the best pictures during the dive with her professional underwater camera and shared all the pics with us for free. Me and my boyfriend didn't dive for 2 years, and while we are both advanced, it was good that Janina took the time to get us up to speed again before going deep into the dive. Thank you for the great experience Janina!!

    A great team of dive professionals. I got a refresh and my two children learned to dive for the first time. Everyone had a great time. The first day was in the pool (three hours of training) followed by an ocean dive (walk in off the beach). Our training was with Nina and Ocean dive was with Andre. Both were very good at explaining diving and made it comfortable and enjoyable. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to learn to dive.

    I have been diving all over the world and seldom met such a friendly yet professional diving school. I did my refresher and my son of 11 years old did a discovery dive. We were welcomed warmly, were informed well and Janina was very skilled with working with all diving levels. Safety and professionalism are obvious here. The dive in the Atlantic was great, and Janine has an amazing eye for hidden sealife. Greatly recommended!

    Excellent dive Center. Janina is an easy manager with super friendly and responsible staff. Also good equipment. The dive side in Sagres was awesome. Next time I come for the wreck dive 😉.

    An amazing dive experience organized by very professional and friendly staff. We had a group ranging from no dive experience to an advanced certification and the team helped us find the perfect combination dives / courses. Highly recommend!!

    I had the pleasure of diving with the team at Divers cove when I visited Portugal recently. They kept me fully informed all the time and provided transfers from my hotel to there office. The dive sites were quite interesting too. I would highly recommend them

    Great experience, well worth the money. Nice people running the dive school, very professional . As a novice they made it easy to understand and achieve more than what I thought was possible. Thanks

    I had a great dive with Jahani, I was a bit out of touch with diving but he made everything easy, a really experienced instructor. Janina organized the dive on a very short notice, they opened the dive center for us. So nice! Small family business and very friendly, can only recommend!

    Highly highly highly recommend Divers cove. Janina and her team are so attentive and thorough with their preparation & instruction. Really cant recommend them enough - my teenage children did the scuba course and genuinely loved every minute. I (as the anxious parent) felt at all times that they were in very safe & experienced hands at Divers cove. We are all very grateful :-)

    Highly, highly recommend Diver's Cove. Very professional instructors and for a first time diver, they were so patient! I think she was a trainee instructor, Lotta (?), on the sea drive, she basically held my hand for half the dive when I started to feel a bit panicky and made me feel safe. All the instructors took the time to point out interesting fish and made the whole experience so enjoyable.

    We had an amazing time with the family friendly team in Divers cove. For 2 of the group it was the first ever time diving and it was amazing experience with Octopus cuttlefish a cannon and huge anchor seen. Great training and tips given, with safety assured from the years of diving experience. Many thanks again for an superb experience

👍👍 Would highly recommend visiting and booking a reservation. We were able to get a spot without one, but the restaurant was busy, so we were lucky to get in! Food was delicious and they offer a small menu, all of which are appealing options. One person at our table has a myriad of allergies, but they...
