SCUBA DIVING | BELOW THE PEARL OF THE ATLANTIC the only diving centre managed by a Madeiran, Pedro Vasconcelos and it runs courses from Discover Scuba Diver to the Instructors Training. It is also the only centre that is equipped with‘ Rebreathers’, making it possible for the Technical and Close Circuit Divers to reach the splendid deep waters and allowing longer dives.“ Madeira offers places of excellence for Technical diving lovers, which unfortunately is not widely promoted” says Pedro.
The centre also organises diving trips to more unusual locations, including São Lourenço, the Desertas Islands and the Wolf Marine reserve and for people that wish to take a reminder of their discoveries back with them, they also have video and photographic specialists who can capture that special moment for them, under the waters of the Pearl of the Atlantic.
