“Abilio Sousa was outstanding!He’s playfully genuine, extremely knowledgeable and highly trustworthy in his scuba diving craft. His knowledge about Madeira, the aquatic plants and animals is top notch and rich with history. He provided a lively, focused and exceptionally rewarding first ever scuba diving experience for my family (myself, daughter and grandma) to enjoy and remember. Abilio went above and beyond to ensure our experience felt safe, comfortable and fun. We highly recommend him to any individual or family (even if you’re a bit frightened) !!!”
