2.Best Dive Experience All Inclusive Scuba Diving Package

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3 reviews · 10 hours · from $240Best value

Travel from Rio with a guide such as Benito or Flavio to Arraial do Cabo for a beginner-friendly scuba session. Certified divers can make two guided descents with full equipment, while English, Portuguese, and Spanish support helps you manage the boat and briefing.

“Pick up was timely. The vehicle was comfortable and Benito was friendly and his English was very good. He got me through the marina and to the dive operator. An English speaking instructor got me set up for the dive and gave me a briefing before turning me over to Luka who led the dive. I was the only certified diver on the boat and got personal attention.”
