Un grand merci aux instructeurs de nous avoir accompagnés pour notre baptême de plongée ! L’ambiance était détendue et c’est sans aucun stress que nous avons pu découvrir pour la première fois les fonds marins. L’encadrement est excellent et nous nous sommes sentis en sécurité. Encore un grand merci à eux ! Nous recommandons fortement ?? – via

I would like to say a big thank you to Pedro and Daniel (and also to the young Frenchman whose first name I forgot ^^) for their professionalism and their welcome. We had some great dives (in particular, an unforgettable moment at Grutas dos Radares in the middle of the eagle rays), and the welcome was just perfect. Thank you again for your kindness and your great availability! – via

I recently spent 10 days in Faial on holiday. Five of the days were spent scuba diving with the Halliotis dive center. We saw some really interesting habitats and wildlife including rays, eels, trigger fish, octopuses, baracudas, spider crabs etc.
We also dived through the wreck Portao 16 which was great!
Unfortunately, it was a bit early in the season to travel to Princess Alice Bank to see the mass movement of the Mobula rays, so this trip was not run in the time we were there. We also attempted a shark dive, but the conditions were not ideal and only 1 or 2 sharks were fleetingly present. This was beyond the control of the dive crew however as they did their best to coax the sharks out.
I completed my advanced open water diver course with Marcelo, who was a patient, friendly, and competent instructor. The rest of the crew and dive staff were also lovely.
I would happily go with Halliotis dive centre again. – via

After trying to contact them several times without answer over their website I decided to go to personally to their offices.
It was a nice sunny day of beginning of May 2023. Everything was closed and you wonder if they are out of business or something because no information at all on when they will be opening. Shame. – via

(Translated by Google) I did 3 dives with “Haliotis Dive Center”, one of them with sharks. Totally recommended, friendly, attentive and good people. Safe and quality diving. I think his number doesn’t appear on the internet, if you go to the site (it’s still closed because they’re hacked), put the phone number on the door. I asked for information in different diving schools and this is without a doubt the best, the rest are in the port and it must be that they are more crowded, since they have exorbitant prices, you have to book well in advance and the attention is regular. If I go back to Faial I will definitely try to go with Haliotis again!!

Hice 3 buceos con “Haliotis Dive Center”, uno de ellos con tiburones. Totalmente recomendable, simpáticos, atentos y buena gente. Buceos seguros y de calidad. Creo que su numero no aparece en internet, si vais al sitio (igual está cerrado porque están bucenado), pone el número de teléfono en la puerta. Pregunté información en distintas escuelas de buceo y esta es la mejor sin duda, el resto están en el puerto y debe ser que están más masificados, ya que tienen precios desorbitados, hay que reservar con mucha antelación y la atención es regular. Si vuelvo a Faial sin duda trataré de ir con Haliotis nuevamente!! – via

Me and my boyfriend did our PADI Open Water course there and we could not imagine better diving school! Pedro and Ana are amazing instructors, during course I had few difficult moments but they always gave me enough time to get used to new situation, without pushing. Thanks to their patience I finished PADI course and can’t wait to dive again – via
