About Azul Diving Center
Azul Diving Center is Madeira's premier SSI and PADI 5-Star dive centre, based at the Penha de França Mar Hotel in the heart of Funchal. Operating daily boat dives to some of the island's most spectacular underwater sites, they have built a reputation as one of the most professional and welcoming dive operations in the Atlantic archipelago.
Their daily schedule includes morning and afternoon single-tank boat dives to the Garajau Natural Marine Reserve and Cabo Girão Marine Park, where divers encounter barracuda, manta rays, octopus, moray eels, and even seahorses in crystal-clear subtropical waters. They offer a full range of SSI and PADI courses from Discover Scuba through to Divemaster, plus specialty courses in underwater photography and deep diving. A second location at Quinta do Lorde Marina in Caniçal provides access to Ponta de São Lourenço dive sites on the island's eastern tip.
What sets Azul Diving apart is their dual-location model that covers both Funchal's southern coast and Madeira's wild eastern peninsula, giving divers access to the full diversity of the island's marine habitats. Their experienced multilingual team, modern equipment fleet, and warm-water year-round diving conditions make them a top pick for visiting divers of all levels.
