Madeira in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean is an island of Portugal that surprises all those who visit it for its beautiful beaches such as Faja dos Padres, the natural pools, the laurisilva forests, the impressive cliffs like Cabo Girao or the possibility of sighting cetaceans. In addition, the average temperature of 25 degrees allows you to travel to Madeira all year round and perform water activities such as diving.
If you have always been curious about diving but have never done so, why not live your diving baptism in Madeira, specifically in Funchal? Funchal is one of the best places to dive thanks to the pleasant temperature of the water and the opportunity to see species such as huge groupers, manta rays and colorful fish very striking .
The instructors of Azul Diving Center Madeira accompany you at your diving baptism in Funchal in a 3-hour activity consisting of two parts.
