Dive center

Less than 30 minutes from Lisbon, Sesimbra boasts an excellent location. This former fishing village is known for its charming houses and the famous Porto de Abrigo. In addition to its beaches and gastronomy, Sesimbra offers a stunning blue sea and countless opportunities to enjoy excellent diving conditions right next to the capital.

Sesimbra is part of the protected area of the Professor Luiz Saldanha Marine Park, established in 1998 with the primary goal of protecting and restoring the biodiversity of this unique marine environment.

The entire Marine Park is included within the Arrábida Natural Park, managed by the Institute for Nature Conservation and Forests (ICNF). The success of the Marine Park relies on the collaboration of local communities, which strive to adapt their sea-related activities (e.g., fishing, diving, and boat tours) to support the recovery and conservation of marine ecosystems.

I’ve been to good dive centers and I’ve been to bad. This is a good dive center. My friend and I had two dives with Maria (DM). She was great.

Daniel Lee

Three staff here was so accommodating and the facilities are super nice! I was here too do a sidemount course and Ricardo and his team took really great care of me. Not only was the teaching very competent, patient, and tailored to my experience and interests, everything was made extremely easy so that i could focus completely on the course and the diving. I really appreciated the way they worked around my schedule and if I’m ever in the area again i definitely plan on coming back for a few dives.
