    Hello. The welcome was excellent with the staff. All week we were with the monitor Eva who was listening to our requests. I want to thank Eva , Marcos , Bertha and the others for their professionalism. I strongly recommend this center to everyone. I'll be back with my eyes closed. Koumena ( ucpa client)

  • Quick Snorkel Trip

    Organisation was good, we were picked up promptly from the hotel and at the dive centre were kitted out quickly and had a good safety talk. The boat trip to the start of the snorkel was very quick and we were soon in the water. The snorkel itself was ok- as often is the case there was a lot of faffing at the start with people trying to get their masks sorted etc. The current meant that you could really just drift along and we did see some cool stuff, however we were in the water for less than half an hour in total, including the faffing. There was a really nice part by the shipwreck with loads of cool fish but we hardly got any time there and were being ushered back to get on the boat which was a shame as we would have like to spend more time there.

  • Amazing to see turtles

    Once I got the hang of it this was fun, and I saw turtles and fish which was amazing. I did though feel that the guide, or the people on land could have kindly given some tips before hand as, although a confident swimmer, I hadn't snorkeled before. It was a bit like 'mask on in you get' straight into the sea, and my mask let in water, plus there's a nack to the breathing which needs to be mastered. A bit of pre instruction would have helped I feel sure

    Great experience I had with this service, everything was wonderful. I have just finished my PADI Open Water certification in three days. I was paired with a buddy in the same situation, just starting in the world of scuba diving. Everything was smooth, not rushed in any way, and very easy and detailed. Lilou was a great instructor, and all staff very pleasant, including Beta, the other instructor that was monitoring another diver throughout the days. It was great not only achieving a long time goal of becoming certified, but also getting to know other people, always in a great environment, both naturally and socially. Truly recommend!

  • Top notch Diving Center!

    Recommendção em português / Review in english / français / Spanish Escolhi a Atlantic Star para o meu baptismo de mergulho (22/10/2026), e fiquei muito satisfiito pela minha escolha. As installções, or equipment fornecido e a todo a equipa são really de mole. Tive a sorte de ter a Lea as a mergulho instructor and I wanted to thank all or her enormous professionalism and sympathy. I am very simple and effective in conveying the basics before I start. Depois, na piscina, teve a patiencia necessária so that I get used serenely to all a nova experience. Já no mar, foi uma companheira de mergulho inexcível, always guide me so that you could enjoy ao maxima da experience. I was just dazzling, truly inskeptical. Voltarei always posses it! Eternally grateful, Lea & Atlantic Star. **** I chose Atlantic Star for my first dive (22/10/2026), and I was very pleased with my choice. The facilities, the equipment provided and the whole team are really top notch. I was lucky to have Lea as my diving instructor and I want to thank her for her professionalism and friendliness. She taught me the basics before the dive in a very simple and effective way. Then, in the pool, she had the patience to help me calmly get used to a whole new experience. Once in the sea, she was an unbeatable diving companion, always guiding me so that I could enjoy the experience to the fullest. It was simply stunning, truly unforgettable. I will return whenever possible! Eternally grateful, Lea & Atlantic Star. **** J'ai choisi Atlantic Star pour mon baptême de plongée (22/10/2026) et j'ai été super content de mon choix. Les installations, le matos fourni et toute l'équipe sont vraiment top.

Elle m'a explained the bases de manière simple et efficace avant de commencing the plongée. Puis, dans la piscine, elle a eu la patience nécessaire pour que je m'habitue tranquillement à cette nouvelle expérience. Une fois en mer, elle a été une compagne de plongée inégalable, me guidant toujours pour que je profite au maximum de l'expérience. C'était tout simply magnifies, inoubliable vraiment.

    Welcoming was very warm, explanations clear. My husband and son did this snorkling, the instructor guided our son to show him as many things as possible and he saw 2 turtles ❤️ The group swim went very well, with too little taste;)

    A little confusion on where pick up was as I’m not staying at one of the big hotels, but a great experience after that. Good snorkelling with knowledgable guide and good equipment. Saw lots of fish and a turtle.
