 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Uma experiência verdadeiramente fora do comum, que adorei! Tive a sorte de aprender com uma pessoa apaixonada, que faz tudo ao seu alcance para transmitir os bons reflexos e partilhar todo o seu conhecimento. Sente-se imediatamente que esta é uma empresa movida pela paixão e pelo lado humano, e não uma simples fábrica. Foi uma experiência extremamente enriquecedora, que recomendo sem qualquer hesitação!

Obrigado, Pura Vida, e um agradecimento muito especial ao Cristóvão!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can't really tell much about diving here, since I mainly went hiking around the area, but the hostel itself is very nice, and I wish I could've stayed for longer. The staff is very friendly and helpful, the rooms and common areas are clean and nice, very homey and inviting :). The place just feels good, and very relaxed. The location is also nice, close to the beach, shop and the bus stop. Overall, I would very much recommend this hostel, and would want to come back again :)

I went to Puravida Friday night and I was very well received by Fabian, in the next 2 days I went to dive with Francisco a great guide and very professional, the convives with them were great and managed to get me a sincere laugh. I am very grateful for the honest laughs and wonderful dives that Francis has provided me. It will definitely be an experience that I will repeat with Puravida and hope to see you again Francis

 Verified Relaxed diving at the end of Europe
I stayed with my two daughters (12 & 17) for 5 days as a guest at the Divehouse. We not only relaxed in the cosy cottage Mezzanine wonderfully, but also had great dives thanks to the great guides Francisco, Alberto and Raquel. Small groups, short distances and fantastic dive sites like “Cathedral”! Thanks also for the patience and the good mood! We felt very comfortable!

 Verified Perfect place for a diving get away
My husband and I took the Open Water Diver course and stayed in their accommodation (private bungalow) for a week. The course with Ana was fantastic, she went through everything with patience and safety while making it super fun, and we were impressed by how quickly and smoothly we learned over the week. Accommodation was good: comfortable bed, clean, well equipped kitchenette and close to a grocery store as well as many restaurants and beaches. Everyone in the the staff was extremely kind, and the place just has a great vibe.

 Verified Top notch!
You will have trouble deciding what's better - scuba diving or accommodation. Host is lovely and rooms are cosy, clean and comfy. Diving is breathtaking (ha! pun intented), and the stuff you'll see underwater cannot be described by words. Cristóvão is an amazing instructor and he will take care of every detail. Would recommend to anyone regardless of age or anything. Dress up because Sagres gets really windy at night, so dont be stupid like me and bring only swimming suits and t-shirts.
