What to expect

Discover Scuba is the introductory product for someone wanting to try the activity before committing to certification. The school also advertises Open Water and more advanced courses, together with regular dive trips for people who already hold a qualification. Its shop and training operation are in Lagos rather than at a neighbouring resort.

The programme includes local dive outings around Ponta da Piedade and separately arranged trips to wreck sites. A specific wreck itinerary is different from an entry-level experience and depends on the participant’s training and the outing offered. Private trips can be requested with the group’s preferences and experience stated in advance; the operator provides its own enquiry and booking routes.

Planning your visit

  • Discover Scuba and certification courses are separate options.
  • Certified divers can join outings or continuing training.
  • Private-trip enquiries should state the group’s experience.
