DIVING COURSES

At Anthia Diving Center you will not only learn to dive, you will do it with all the guarantees, knowledge, technique and above all we will share the enthusiasm and respect for the marine world.

INITIATION TO DIVING IN SESIMBRA

YOUR FIRST TIME?

The crystal clear waters of Sesimbra are the perfect setting to learn to dive. We offer you different ways to start, depending on the time you want to dedicate to it. Something simple and quick like a baptism (from the beach or from a boat) or a more complete initiation where we can go deeper. Choose your initiation.

GIFT DIVING IN SESIMBRA

SOMETHING TO REMEMBER

If you are looking for an original gift, this is your experience. No particular physical condition is required, just answer a medical questionnaire to rule out any incompatibility with scuba diving. We have activities for all levels!

Such a good experience, I agree with these reviews. This place wholeheartedly deserves 5 stars! My instructor Paulo made me feel so at ease. I was not used to diving in these types of waters but I was helped through it. I had so much fun laughing and hearing stories. The professionalism and kindness here is unparalleled! If you want to get your diving certificates, do it here!

Fiz o meu curso de Open Water Diver com o instrutor Alain Monteiro no inverno de 2023, e o Advanced Adventurer e Nitrox com o instrutor Paulo Santos na primavera de 2024. Não poderia recomendar mais qualquer um dos dois. Ambos muito pacientes e dedicados aos seus formandos, transmitindo a calma e segurança necessárias à conclusão dos cursos com sucesso, garantindo também bastante diversão nas primeiras incursões pelo mundo subaquático, com identificação de espécies marinhas e exploração da magnífica costa de Sesimbra. Recomendo!

La vibra del lugar es muy hermosa, desde que llegas te reciben bien. Los instructores te dan confianza y te ayudan en todo. Mejor lugar para bucear en Sesimbra. El mejor instructor Paulo Santos! Volveria sin dudarlo

Experiência de mergulho espetacular! Recomendo vivamente a todos com ou sem experiência. Tanto os equipamentos, como o staff são fantásticos. Agradecimento especial ao Paulo, o nosso instrutor, que garantiu sempre a nossa segurança e boa disposição durante todo o mergulho. Voltarei certamente!

We tried the try dive with Anthia yesterday and it was amazing. We booked it last minute but they tried to accommodate and the process staff was all very helpful. We had super fun amazing time and learned a lot with our instructor Fàbio. Paulo and other divers were amazing too and their focus was always to have fun. Would totally recommend this place and Fàbio for try dive or anything more.

I did my first dive ever today and felt very comfortable and safe with the whole team. Everything was well explained by my instructor, there was no rush to do anything and being in the water was a super great experience overall :-) I can definitely recommend the centre, if you want to try scuba diving!

I did the SSI advanced Adventurer course in Anthia and I am totally satisfied. Alain was my main instructor and he was perfect. He is passionate about diving, enthusiastic and eager to teach. Pedro also managed to organize an interesting night dive for us which we really enjoyed. Overall, I had a great time, improved my diving skills and I highly recommend Anthia. I hope to visit them again at some point and do more dives in Sesimbra.
