About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Theduchessoftruro0 contributionsGreat for first timers and people with experienceI have never done this before, so I was a bit apprehensive about it. The team at P&P were fantastic in building my confidence. I felt very well look after and they listened to my concerns text. I am happy to recommend the experience with this company as I felt safe and care for. Moreover, they have have Spanish and English speakers which was very helpful for my multilingual family! Thank you guys a memory we will cherish… Diana-Colombia Oliver-UKWritten 2 July 2024

- Clive M0 contributionsGREAT EXPERIENCEThis was my wife’s first time scuba diving, the entire experience from start to finish was amazing. The 2 young guys that took us down were incredible. They had us relaxed and enjoying the experience Almost immediately.Written 28 February 2024
- jcastigl0 contributionsExcellent open water diver course!!!I got my open water diver certification at P&P and could not have asked for a better experience! The staff is super nice, professional and knowledgeable. They really care about giving the best experience possible and are very careful about safety of the students. Special shoutout to Mati for being an amazing teacher!! The locations for the dives are also insanely beautiful, we saw sea turtles, sea horses, sting rays and a ton of fishes and corals. 10/10 recommendWritten 5 February 2024
- kolbyp7880 contributionsLife ChangingI traveled to Brazil with no intention of getting three different dive certifications but I did the tourist dive and knew it’s what I wanted to do right away. My instructor Jean was great at showing me everything I needed to know and it was easily one of the greatest experiences of my life. I would recommend to anyone who has the time and money, I guarantee you will not be disappointed.Written 4 August 2023
- Jasemcghie0 contributionsExcellentDiving with P&P was a great experience! Our tour guide Santiago was an absolute star and was super relaxed! The employees were exceptional and the service was fantastic! Plus the dive site was great, we saw lots of coral and sea life like turtles, eels, fish out the wazoo, etc… We didn’t even end up getting in a boat we just did a shore walk and swam along the cliff side which was nice! The only reason I didn’t give them 5 stars is because I felt like I was marketed a little bit of a different style of dive for a higher price than it should have been. And when I got there and explained that I felt a little deceived they weren’t up for negotiation and I was kind of stuck with the situation and cost. But overall it was great and I’m happy that we dove with them! Well done P&P!Written 15 March 2023
- 385taliak0 contributionsAmazing, fascinating, and fun experience learning to scuba dive!Pablo and my instructor Santi were very kind, understanding, and helpful even when I would make mistakes. They also spoke very good English. It was a very fun and awesome experience and I always felt safe in the water. When I had questions they would answer them clearly and made sure I understood.Written 5 March 2023
- Dmodiver0 contributionsBest Dive Center in BuziosI definitely recommend P&P dive center. They are very friendly and I had a wonderful time and experience diving with the them. They also offer great courses and specialities.Written 2 March 2023
- Gklenz0 contributionsProfessional, friendly and funWe found P&P online and from the moment we walked in the door, Pablo made us feel great about the decision to dive with them. My wife and I hadn't done a dive in years and we wanted to recertify and join our daughter (13 years old) on her dives as she did her PADI open water. We all did the course via e-learning, but there was support all the way along. They communicated well and all steps were fun and felt very well-planned and safe. From the pool session to the shallow training dives at João Fernandes and the final 2 dives at Ilha Ancora, it was exciting and we saw everything from schools of beautiful fish to walls of anemone, a seahorse, and a couple of sea turtles and an eel. Our divemaster, Santiago spoke English well enough for our daughter to understand everything and we conversed with him in Spanish. We were impressed by the genuine care and professionalism of both of these guys and recommend them highly. Diving is such an adventure, but you need to have confidence in the operation and we really felt it. Thanks guys!Written 2 March 2023

- cas11760 contributionsScuba dive with P&P Escola e Operadora de MergulhoMy wife and I had a great diving experience with P&P Escola e Operadora de Mergulho. We haven’t been scuba diving in close to 20 years, but the staff made the experience very comfortable. Our dive guide spoke great English so we were able to understand the pre-dive preparation and instructions, allowing for a stress free experience. We also purchased the optional dive photographer to come with us. The photographs and video we received were a great addition to remember our dive. I highly recommend this dive school experience and Mariana who helped coordinate our reservation was fantastic as well. Thank you.Written 22 January 2023
- PunkProf0 contributionsBuzios diving experienceHad a fantastic time with Soledad, Pablo and Capt. They were really helpful & supportive on my 1st dive. Sol was a great diving partner. She made me feel very safe and I grew in confidence as the dive went on. I chose PandP because they are PADI accredited so you can be confident they know what they are doing and have your safety in mind always.Written 17 September 2022

One of my nieces was really scared and they worked with her to make her comfortable and she had a great time. It was a memorable time and a great experience diving for the first time!Written 6 September 2022
- Cocodelacalle310 contributionsAmazingi’m a french tourist in brazil and with my family we decided to try dive with oxygen bottles for the 1st time. In the morning we took a boat to go near an island situated near buzios. On the boat we were with our monitor Daniel. He’s such a nice guy, he speaks many languages including french which was perfect for us. He took the time to give us a recap to check if we knew how to breath with the bottles. Then, we dived. In the water, we got the chance to see several turtles, many fiches and beautiful corals. As i said it was my 1st experience with oxygen bottles and i think it won’t be the last one. It was amazing to fell the freedom to breath under the water swimming next to the marine wildlife. I would like to thank Daniel for his perfect pedagogy of what seems to be his passion, Pomelo who drove us to the island and Pablo who explained us, the day before, how go breathe with the bottles, the signs we need to know under the water and many others things.Written 3 November 2021
- jamesN8654FD0 contributionsBeautiful experience.Great experience, I had never gone bottle diving before and I always wanted to try but never had the opportunity to. It was perfect, the teacher Daniel was very friendly and spoke very good French with us ( my family is French ) he was very professional loved his job. We dove near an beautiful island and saw many breeds of beautiful fish, turtles and corals. The boat trip to the island was very pleasant and the teacher had bought snacks for us to eat along the trip. All in all it was a very good first experience, made me want to do more although unfortunately I wasn’t staying long enough to be able to. Definitely recommend and I would like to thank the team for this wonderful time.Written 3 November 2021

My Diving guide instructor was Nacho, he was wonderful. Made sure I was safe and made my experience fun seeing fishes 🐟 on the water. There was an option to get a photo and video package for memories, in which I purchased. Basically 2 diver guides with me the whole time. Great experience to have in Buzios, thank you

I took the PADI open water course in November. My instructor Daniel was very friendly, patient and knowledgeable. I was a bit worried prior to the trip if the language would be a problem, but Daniel spoke English very well.
I only had three days available, and they organized the course to fit that time limit. Private lessons at a very reasonable price.

A great team. Mathias was a very cool and educational teacher and Mariana was so kind and devoted (not usual to see someone driving you everyday to the diving center as we hadn’t car !). My daughter was so happy with this experience (open water course). Congrats again. Super week spent, thanks to you 🙏

These guys were amazing! Extremely personal service! My husband and I are very experienced divers and booked this off of Viator. We were just here for a day off the cruise ship but would definitely come back since we own a dive shop in the United States!

We had an amazing experience diving with P y P at Ancora. Pablo was super patient, he gave us a thorough explanation of what we were going to expect, along with a handful of recommendations.
The center has really high standards. The boat was impeccable and all of our equipment was ready when we arrived. Our equipment was in great shape, even some of the suits were brand new.
The instructors went all the way to make our experience a great one, Brian in particular was on top of everything and took great care of us.

We had an excellent English speaking PADI instructor- Guillermo - who made sure we learn and understand the ins and outs of Open Water Diving. Price was also reasonable and the owner of the school was very easy to deal with. All in all it was a really great experience and I highly recommend P&P Mergulho.
