    Very Good diving center. Especially the jacuzzi right in front of the entrance. It is open 24/7. I used it several times during my vacation. Water Temperatur could be higher.

    It’s an amazing place for scuba diving in Madeira. Location is fantastic. Staff was amazing, helpful and very familiar. We left our daughter there she felt like home. Me and my wife went for diving with Ainhoa and Pedro. They made the best moment of our life. We will never forget that moment. Really really thanks for the unforgettable memories. We strongly recommend this place. Love you guys all of you.

    Today I was able to do Discover Scuba Diving at ATALAIA Diving Center. I am absolutely impressed with the diving school and recommend it to anyone who is vacationing here. Pedro, one of the diving instructors, explained everything necessary very clearly and answered all questions. The house reef is beautiful and offers an extremely species-rich impression of the underwater world of Madeira. Pedro showed me huge schools of fish, small crabs, parrotfish and much more. One of the top experiences in Madeira!

    I’m a new diver with only 11 dives, including my owd course dives. Me and my boyfriend did four dives with Atalaia Diving Center + a refresher in a pool. Even though I was crazy nervous all the time, we had great time diving in three different dive spots with three different instructors and divemasters. Everyone was very helpful and we got good information before and after dives. And perhaps next time I’ll remember to breathe more peacefully.

    What a great experience! We had our first scuba diving lessons and it was amazing. There were two instructors for two of us, so we had help and felt safe all the time. Definitely would do more hours here but we have to leave soon. During the lessons we got a theoretical part, went to the pool and then went into the sea - during that time we had a lot fun, learned a lot and got to experience the full diving adventure - both instructors knew exactly how to help and what to do! We even got to see a turtle, seahorse and lots of beautiful fishes! Thank you for everything!

    Fantastic week of freediving and scuba diving with Atalaia! I've done freediving sessions and an SSI course with Jessica over a period of one week and it was a great experience!! Jessica is an excellent and extremely experienced instructor that focused on what I could improve in my freediving technique and walked me over exercises that helped me make very good progress. I felt safe and relaxed - something really important in freediving. I also have great memories of warm up sessions we've done - relaxing and calming in the morning sun and right next to the water. The team at Atalaia also recommended a scuba diving course I wasn't aware of and that was actually a much better option for what I wanted to accomplish. The location was perfect for me - right on the ocean and away from city noise. Also, equipment is in excellent condition and well cared for. I'm planning to come again in the future!

    My girlfriend and I went for a try dive as we never experienced scuba diving before. The preparation was excellent, after a short introduction we first went into the pool to get comfortable with the diving equipment. Thereafter, we went for an extended, guided dive in the ocean, where an instructor is supervising not more than two inexperienced divers. Our instructor Pedro was just excellent and led us through the wonderful waters off the shore of Madeira.

    I did just 2 dives early December 2023 after choosing Atalaia slightly randomly. Luckily it was a great choice and I would definitely go again. Introductions, check-in, equipment, briefing was done very professionally. We were just three + the guide that day, and despite different experience levels, had 2 great dives and managed to see a lot. Very attentive and thorough, well done Pedro!

    What an experience! I want to thank Pedro and his team for an amazing diving holiday. I would like to thank them for their friendliness, openness, and professionalism. The location is amazing and the dive guides are really great. They have an incredible amount of knowledge of the local underwater life and have the uncanny ability to find the most amazing life hidden away between the rocks and cracks. Every dive left me amazed. I can't wait to visit Atalaia again and would happily recommend them to anyone looking for a great diving experience.
