The workers were very clear and helpful and had a sense of humour!
I really enjoyed the experience and all the workers show that they know what they are doing while keeping it fun and exciting, we had Fernando as our driver and paulo as the diver that went down with us in the sea, he even made sure that if we didn’t want to do it wether that was because it’s too cold or it’s too windy, we can back out and go back on the boat to the coast. they provided wet suits for us to keep the warmth in. Would recommend especially for noobies!!

Fun Scuba Dive in Albufeira
I had a really great experience with Easy Divers. The whole operation is well organized and the team is very efficient from the very 1st moment you connect with them. The Dive Centre is well organized and they whole team work together in explaining the process helping you to your equipment and assisting the gearing up. The equipment was of good quality and well maintained . On the boat again the processes were well explained and everything was well organized. Once we got into the water our guide Ara was very helpful and patient and did an amazing job of leading us through 2 very nice dive sites abundant with a variety of sea life. She took great pains to us octupus in holes and many other kinds of fish. After the dive again every thing was very well explained and smooth. The hot shower at the dive centre is unbelievable after the cold water. Overall it was really good fun, the team are helpful light hearted, funny and very professional when it is time for that. This is what a good dive centre and experience looks like.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 🤿 We’re delighted to hear that everything was well organized from the first contact through to the dives, and that Ara took such great care of you in the water 🌊 It’s lovely to know you enjoyed the dive sites, the sea life, and even the hot shower afterwards. Your kind words mean a lot to the whole team, and we truly appreciate you sharing your experience. See you soon, The Easydivers Dive Centre Team

Amazing
I had my first ever scuba dive with Easy Divers and it was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. I was nervous beforehand because I’d always been a bit scared of the ocean, but my instructor Andre was so calm, patient and encouraging that I felt comfortable the whole time, we got to see so many cool fish like triggerfish, sea breem and colourful wrasse! I love nudibranchs and told andre he was very kind and said he’d point them out for me too! - Brynn Feeney.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your lovely review, Brynn! 🤿 We’re so happy that your first scuba dive with us was such a positive experience, especially after feeling nervous beforehand 🌊 It’s wonderful to hear that Andres calm, patient, and encouraging approach helped you feel comfortable throughout the dive, and that you got to see so many beautiful fish along the way 🐠 See you soon, The Easydivers Team

We had an absolutely brilliant experience with Easy Diving from start to finish! Everything was so well organised, and the whole team made us feel welcome and at ease from the moment we arrived. All of the instructors were incredibly friendly, patient, and helpful. They explained everything clearly, made sure we felt safe and confident throughout, and their enthusiasm really added to the experience. Whether you’re a complete beginner or have dived before, I couldn’t recommend Easy Diving highly enough. It was definitely one of the highlights of our holiday, and we’ll certainly be back if we’re in the area again. Thank you to everyone for such a fantastic experience!

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Try Dives - Discover Scuba Diving in Albufeira: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Albufeira.
How much does Try Dives - Discover Scuba Diving in Albufeira cost?
+
Prices start at $148 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Albufeira usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Try Dives - Discover Scuba Diving in Albufeira take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Albufeira is not rushed.
Is Try Dives - Discover Scuba Diving in Albufeira worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 100 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Albufeira, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Try Dives - Discover Scuba Diving in Albufeira?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Try Dives - Discover Scuba Diving in Albufeira suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Try Dives - Discover Scuba Diving in Albufeira?
+
Around 35 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Albufeira can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Albufeira and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Try Dives - Discover Scuba Diving in Albufeira start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Albufeira within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Albufeira?
+
On Outty we rank every Albufeira experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Dolphins Search and Benagil Caves from Albufeira, Benagil Caves Visit with Dolphins Watching from Albufeira, Half Day Tour with Jeep Safari in the Algarve Mountains. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Albufeira?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Albufeira?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

Not included: Food and drinks; Gratuities; Souvenir photos (available to purchase); and Hotel pickup and drop-off. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
