Yes

We are advanced divers so have no experience of their teaching, but we used Cabo Verde Diving, and they seemed a very professional outfit, and they were highly recommended to us.

I'd recommend e mailing them to see if that can be accomodated. The dives we did were from a zodiac and specifically for a boat full of divers. I would imaginethat there are sites which could accomodate both. I don't think that the CV islands are so conducive to snorkelling, as there is not such a proliferation of coral and sea life such as there is in places like the Red Sea where a mixed ability trip is much easier. I hope this is helpful.

Hello Camilla The Open Water Diver Course takes 4 days max to be completed. You can do the theory before arriving and that saves you more time. Please check our website for more details. Thank you!

Hi Sharon, We teach SSI and Padi courses with padi you need to add 50€ for the certification fee. Apart from this both organizations cover the same material. Keep in mind that all our programs are flexible and can be adapted to your preferences, I will explain how it generally works. The Scuba diver is the first part of the Open Water, so you can extend from one to the other without losing any time and just pay the difference, the manual is the same. For the Scuba Diver course 250€: There are three theory modules (approx. 3h) which consist on watching some videos and doing some quizzes, normally one morning. Then a pool session where the first three modules are completed, by this point you will have the skill set to be independent underwater (again normally one morning or afternoon). Followed by two dives (max. depth 12m) which we normally conduct on separate afternoons to give you more time to enjoy the underwater. For the open water course 350€ In addition to what is included in the Scuba Diver you will have an extra two theory modules (approx. 1h), one pool session with the final skills and then two open water dives (depth of up to 18m, which you can finish in a morning). During the course you will have time between the morning and afternoon sessions to go back to the hotel have lunch and relax. We can organize the transfer free of charge from and to your hotel in Santa Maria, in the morning, at lunch and in the afternoon. Best regards Romina

Yes they do. They were a great diving school. Kush was fantastic. Have a great holiday xx

Yes they do dives for beginners. Website shows 85€ for Discover Scuba. This starts of in the pool to give you the basic skills needed. Not sure how deep they'll take you, depends very much on how you absorb the skills, but probably no more than 10 metres. they're a great Dive Centre and take good care of their clients.

Sure!

There are certainly parts of the coast where there would be a lot to see snorkeling. If you want to do it with a guide then you will have to check directly with the Dive Centre.
