Petit club avec ambiance sympathique et Chill. Cristóvão est très sympa et pro. thé et gâteaux entre deux plongées. Douche, bancs, matériel. ça vaut le coup de faire des kilomètres

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 🙂

Mergulho Fui no Puravida sexta-feira à noite e fui muito bem recebida pelo Fabian, nos 2 dias seguintes fui mergulhar com o Francisco um ótimo guia e muito profissional, os convívios com eles foram ótimos e conseguiram me tirar uma risada sincera. Estou muito grata pelas risadas honestas e mergulhos maravilhosos que o Francisco me proporcionou. Será de certo uma experiência que irei repetir com o Puravida e espero ver-te de novo Francisco

Entspanntes Tauchen am Ende Europas Ich war mit meinen beiden Töchtern (12 & 17) für 5 Tage zu Gast im Divehouse. Wir haben uns im gemütlichen Häuschen Mezzanine nicht nur ganz wunderbar entspannt, sondern hatten Dank der großartigen Guides Francisco, Alberto und Raquel auch ganz tolle Tauchgänge. Kleine Gruppen, kurze Wege und fantastische Tauchplätze wie „Cathedral“! Danke auch für die Geduld und die gute Stimmung! Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt!

The best way to dive! I stayed in the Divehouse for a full week of scuba-diving and it was an incredible experience! The staff is great, the divecenter was friendly and professional, with very informative briefings. Everything you could hope for and more. Thank you

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.

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.
