Natura Dive - Arraial do Cabo
Natura Dive in Arraial do Cabo. Now, these guys are our kind of operation. They’re PADI through and through, running courses right from introductory dives up to more advanced stuff. We think they hit a sweet spot, catering perfectly for new divers getting their feet wet, but also for those wanting to clock up some solid experience in a really varied environment. What we really appreciate about Natura Dive is their team. They’re super relaxed, friendly, and genuinely excited about getting people in the water. We’ve found their instructors have a knack for making you feel at ease, whether you’re struggling with mask clearing or just a bit nervous about a deeper dive. We’d suggest opting for a weekday dive if you can swing it; the boats are less crowded, and you get more one-on-one time with the crew. They know the local sites like the back of their hand, often pointing out things we’d totally missed on previous dives – a well-camouflaged scorpionfish tucked into a crevice, or a squid flushing colours as it glides past. It’s that local knowledge that transforms a good dive into a truly memorable one.
