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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fiz o batismo e, logo a seguir, o curso Open Water Diver na Anthia, sempre com o Paulo Santos como instrutor. Foi uma excelente experiência do princípio ao fim.

O centro está muito bem organizado, com bom material e uma equipa que sabe o que faz. O Jori foi sempre prestável, quer com o equipamento, quer a esclarecer dúvidas, e nunca houve nada que fosse um problema.

O Paulo é um espetáculo de instrutor. Brinca e tem sempre boa disposição, o que torna as aulas descontraídas, mas quando é preciso ser sério, é mesmo. A segurança esteve sempre em primeiro lugar, em todos os exercícios e em todos os mergulhos, e isso fez toda a diferença para me sentir confiante dentro de água. Explica tudo com clareza e paciência, e não se passa para o passo seguinte sem estar tudo bem percebido.

O batismo foi o que me convenceu a tirar a certificação, e não podia ter escolhido melhor sítio nem melhor instrutor para o fazer. Recomendo a quem quer experimentar o mergulho e a quem quer tirar o curso completo.

Correu tudo muito bem, desde o planeamento até à conclusão do curso. Tudo foi organizado de forma excelente, com explicações claras, acompanhamento constante e uma grande preocupação com a segurança em todas as etapas.

Quero deixar um agradecimento especial ao Paulo Santos, que foi o meu instrutor, pela sua dedicação, profissionalismo, paciência e confiança que transmitiu ao longo de toda a formação. Tornou a aprendizagem acessível, tranquila e muito agradável, ajudando-me a ganhar confiança e a desfrutar ao máximo desta experiência.

Recomendo vivamente a Antia Diving Center e o instrutor Paulo Santos a quem queira aprender a mergulhar com qualidade, segurança e profissionalismo.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hey,
I really had a fantastic experience with Anthia Diving Center. I did my first ever Dive with them and completed my Open-Water-Diver Certification.
The organisation was fantastic; I was able to visit Sesimbra very spontaneously for a week. I messaged them on Wednesday and got a reply withing 2 hours that it would be possible to join a class on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Our instructor Paulo Santos really was the best Instructor I could have imagined. He speaks fluent English, French and of course Portuguese. He is extremely experienced and very fun to be around. He explained everything very calmly and gave us all the time we needed to understand everything properly. I felt 100% save at all times, even during “scary” tasks like the “losing your mask underwater” safety drill.
When I return next year to do my Advanced-Open-Water Diver I will 100% come back to Anthia Diving Center and Paulo.

Summary:
Organisation: 10/10
Instructor: 11/10 (-;
