3.Diving in the Madeira Aquarium

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 215 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $163

Swim with sharks, rays, and morays at Madeira Aquarium in Porto Moniz, with expert instruction, full equipment, and a small group of four.

“Booked for a family of 4 on the basis that this activity was for a maximum of 4 people. On the day we arrived on time but were advised that they were running approximately 30 late and that another person was joining the group. This added around another 45 mins to the activity which meant a lot of waiting around wet & a little cold. On a positive note the instructor was great, particularly with the kids and overall it was a fab family experience”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 95 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $101

Review of Easydivers’ Albufeira boat trip for certified divers, with two guided underwater sessions, gear rental, hot showers, and clear costs.

“I recently booked 2 dive trips with EasyDivers, visiting 4 different dive sites. A really professional team, including the guys in the shop who booked me in, helped with completing the pre-dive medical paperwork and my post-dive logbook, João the boat Captain, and Dive Guides Fernando and Matias. Safety briefings were comprehensive and the Dive Guides were attentive to the individual divers and their experience levels. I highly recommend EasyDivers, and will definately be making further bookings with the team on my next vist to Albufeira!!”
