Madeira Island

Manta Diving Center

Manta Diving Center is located in Caniço de Baixo, directly on the bathing resort of the Galo Resort Hotels.

The popular diving club can be easily reached with an elevator and is managed by Gabi and Stefan. The diving club is the only base in the underwater national park of Madeira, and only a few steps away from the domestic reef with a large number of fish which you can discover by yourself with dive buddy or with a guide of the diving base.

The base is furnished with up-to-date rental equipment and is maintained and checked by skilled personnel. A sufficient equipment selection is available for underwater sports. Beginners and advanced students are trained according to CMAS/DTSA and Padi. There is also the possibility to achieve different brevets up to the diving teacher assistant.

The diving club is run in a family and partner-orientated atmosphere. Comradeship comes first. Stefan is always there to support his guests in word and deed. Boredom is rare, also for non-divers, as time is kept short by the entries directly at the base. Thus ideal for beginners as well as for pros. Film and photo lovers will surely have a very good time in the "healthy" underwater world. E6 developments are possible in the photo laboratory of the base according to arrangement.



The domestic reef
Diving at the domestic reef is an adventure. 4 different diving places can be reached via 4 timesaving entries without any problem. The great variety of species - due to the warm waters of the gulf stream and the protection of the underwater national park - can almost be compared to tropical waters. Caves and grottos, large groupers, baracudas, trigger and parrot fishes, with a little bit of luck also mantas directly at the domestic reef, make most of the guests want to come back.
