First time Scuba Diving and our experience was wonderful and positive - This was our first time Scuba Diving and our experience was wonderful and positive. Our group was diverse, with people from different ages (74, 46, 12, 10) and our instructor Luciano was not only very attentive but careful as well. He dived individually with each of us to ensure our safety and that everyone had the opportunity to develop their skills. We highly recommend it! Thank you Luciano for a wonderful experience!

Nice first experience where you could also dive into the ocean. We have seen many colorful fish! - We don't have to practice in a swimming pool first, we got a good explanation and were immediately allowed to go into the sea. The instructor made sure he was never further than 1 m from the diver. So very ideal for a first time further, he made bits of video if that was justified and we just got it for free on our phone. He also gave our daughter good instructions including how to better maintain her diving mask she already had at home. This meant that she did not end up buying a new diving mask but could use her own diving mask better, so no commercial approach at all, but a lot of heart for the profession.

Great dive experience! - Went on 2 open water dives in the house reef with Miguel. He was really professional and took the time to explain everything very well (and takes great photos). The reef is fun to dive with a few caves, lot of different colourful fish, crustaceans, octopus and anemones. Overall it was a great experience!

Friendly professionals - We spent our holidays in the end of January and we were searching for diving for three days. Only this club answered the phone and finaly we did three dives with them. We are non experienced divers and in the begining our instructor Miguel revised our knowledge. Then we made first dive near the center on the twelve meters for one hour and then two dives on the eighteen meters. One of them was not far from the center and one in the national resort Garasau, where we saw a lot of grupper, trumpet, barracuda and other fish. It was amazing experience. Also Miguel made some photos during the dives and sent them to us for free. We rented all the equipment and it was good. We didn't have any problems. Also they provide dive courses with exercises right in the ocean, not in the swimming pool. We had two very nice days with them. I recommend this center for beginers and experienced divers. They are kind friendly professionals.

3 days of Great diving - Having been let down by another dive center in Funchal, I approached Scorpio Madeira who arrange 3 days of diving with 2 dives per day. The first day I was picked up at the Hotel in Funchal and taken to their dive center at Ribeira de Nata near Caniçal.The 2 dives there were in crystal clear waters with plenty of life. Great for my photography. The following day we went to Praia do Garajau with a stony beach, here we encountered 3 large gropers and again plenty of life. Nice to have a coffee between dives in the beach cafe. On the last day we had 2 dives off the large rib on a couple of sea mounts. Although the dives were deeper and I started to feel quite cold they were slightly less impressive than the 2 days of shore dives. As we departed back to the dive center we were greeted by a couple of turtles. Center had good quality equipment and both owner and instructor were both excellent at making me feel very welcome. Definitely recommend Scorpio Madeira. Thank you.

Great dive - We went diving with Miguel after a long pause from diving, so we had forgot much of the basics. He was really patient and explained everything very well. Also the pick up and drop off was very good, mainly because the driver was fun and local, so he knew alot about the island.
