Great first time diving at Blue Ocean Divers in Praia da Luz, my two teenagers loved it and we have booked again to go night snorkelling.
Sebastian · Solo travelerGermany · August 2026
It was my first introductory dive, and I didn't know what to expect. My German-speaking guides, Nick and Elmar, were incredibly friendly and professional from the start, always ready to answer any questions, and I immediately felt like I was part of the diving community. It all felt almost like a family. After a short theory session, we went to the pool for our first breaths underwater and some initial exercises. After a quick lunch break, we headed to a dive site in the ocean. We saw octopuses, rays, and fish—it was simply amazing! The entire experience was seamless. I highly recommend this introductory dive course!

Awesome experience! Our diving instructor gave us a briefing in the pool at 10am so that we could focus exclusively on the dive in the sea. Safety is paramount! Afterwards we warmed up with a coffee. In addition to around 15 octopuses, we saw lots of other fish and sea creatures. The price-performance ratio was great. The activity lasted around 6 hours in total.
It was my first time diving and I can recommend it to everyone! Thank you!
