We did a trial dive as a family of 4 (youngest 13). Dive instructor was very calm and assuring - particularly helping my wife to assist her on her first dive. I have done similar experience before and found this one to be a higher standard on safety practices.

I was one on one which was very good ,she had a lot of patience with me as I struggled with breathing, following the instructions that I had to do. I was not able to complete the tasks before going into the sea and I felt I was not ready to enter the sea ,I will keep trying to understand why i struggled with breathing and practice if I can,some way to enjoy diving. The lady still let my enjoy the maximum time diving in the swimming pool where it was safe for me ,I will get in the sea some day

The guide was very friendly but English wasn’t good enough for such complicated instructions. I and son ended up not completing it as didn’t understand the complexities enough to have the confidence of going into open sea

If you are young and fit you will really enjoy the experience, Wendy the instructor is really good she knows what she is talking about, I’m in my 60’s now and not as fit as I was, was ok in the pool when learning, was not sure when got in the sea so didn’t do the last bit, but like I say if you are young and fit you will enjoy the experience.

I recently had the pleasure of going on a diving experience with a company that truly put their professionalism and friendliness on display. The company I went with was exceptional in every way; they helped me feel comfortable with the diving equipment, made sure I knew what to expect, and were really just great people to be around. But the real highlight of the trip was the diving experience itself. We got to explore thel depths of the ocean and it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.

Husband loved it but I was unable to take part at all. Previous collapsed lung and heart problems. Should have been made clear that this is only suitable for very fit people before zI booked. Very expensive mistake

A fantastic experience, well worth the money. This must be the best value excursion in Cape Verde. Christie at Atlantic Star was a brilliant instructor, very patient with 3 complete novices.

The overall experience was very enjoyable. The staff where very attentive and our safety was very important to them. Once you arrive they give you health questionnaire. During the pool diving trial the staff was willing to spend time with people individually if they were struggling to make you feel comfortable and safe. You get a safety briefing and get shown how far you will be going before the boat ride to the diving location. The diving was fun and will definitely do it again.

The personal touch of the experience and the instructor's knowledge. Felt at each stage of the training preparation for the sea dive. The whole experience was really fun, safe and wanting to do the dive again.

A great experience with the team at Atlantic Star, Wendy our instructor was really informative and made sure we had a fab morning, even sending photos through afterwards. My 10-year-old daughter loved her first ever open water dive ??
