Single Dive By Boat

For Certified Divers

The Single Dive by Boat is the ideal choice for certified divers who want to enjoy a high-quality dive inside Madeira’s most iconic marine reserve without committing to a full multi-dive session.

Departing from Ribeira do Natal, you’ll embark on a short but scenic boat ride along the volcanic cliffs of the Ponta de São Lourenço peninsula. Once at the dive site, you’ll descend into crystal-clear waters known for visibility often exceeding 25 meters and a rich variety of marine life.

Depending on conditions, your instructor will choose the best site of the day — from sheltered bays with sandy bottoms to dramatic rocky walls filled with moray eels, octopus, parrotfish, wrasse, and schools of barracuda. This dive is perfect for refreshing your skills, enjoying a relaxed underwater moment, or simply making the most of your time on the island.

Small groups ensure a safe, comfortable, and personal experience guided by our passionate SSI professionals.
