We are PuraVida

Pioneers with a purpose

Portugal’s first dive camp, with a commitment to ocean conservation.

One of Europe’s best dive spots

Wrecks, caves and crystal-clear Atlantic waters.

Dive & stay in one place

No transfers, no stress. Dive, relax and sleep under the same roof.

Local dive centre, family roots

A fourth-generation home turned into a dive house.

The staff is great, the divecenter was friendly and professional, with very informative briefings. Everything you could hope for and more.

PaolaLuxembourg

Cristovão was not only a great guide but also a very fun person to spend the day with. We saw more than 20 different kinds of nudibraches and were completely amazed with the variety.

Ellen and PedroBelgium

Our 14 year old son passed his SSI SCUBA Dive level 1 qualification, over 4 days. Also to add that they are all ‘ambassadors of the sea’, hugely respectful of the marine environment.
