Skip the Line: Lagoa Misteriosa Admission Ticket with Scuba Diving Experience - Beginner baptism-style scuba: what 8 meters feels like

1.Skip the Line: Lagoa Misteriosa Admission Ticket with Scuba Diving Experience

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 81 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $127Our pick

Skip-the-line entry to Lagoa Misteriosa in Central Brazil, with a guided scuba intro in a sinkhole lagoon and small-group attention.

“As a beginner in diving, we found it out a very good experience. Place is very good, great scenery, beautiful view. We had great instructors (David and Maria). Gentle and calm. As improvements, a little more preparation to what would be happening under water, specially for the photos shooting. It was difficult understand under water what the team wanted us to do. Also, a warning about the stair that we would need to go down ( amd later up), and lastly, anticipation of the air cilinder weight. Not easy to carry it:”

Diving with Turtles in Floripa - Xavier Island water time: the 30-minute window and how it’s managed

2.Diving with Turtles in Floripa

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 53 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $97Best value

Small-group baptismal scuba near Florianopolis with a real chance to meet sea turtles, plus snorkeling options, snacks, and calm first-timer support.

“Had a very cool experience, didn’t last as long as listed but it was plenty of time, saw a couple kinds of corals, tons of colorful tropical fish, crabs, eels, belt fish, and got to pet a sea turtle. Especially cool experience if you’re from the US where a diving experience is something you can’t even do without pricey training and certifications, although I enjoyed it so much I want to get those things now anyway!”

Buzios – DIVING EXPERIENCE

Buzios - DIVING EXPERIENCE - 3 hours total, with 1.5 hours of class on land

4.Buzios – DIVING EXPERIENCE

★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 7 reviews · 3 hours · from $100

Búzios reef snorkel with theory, patient water adaptation, small group (10), and photo video memories at João Fernandinho.

“O pessoal é legal e amigável, mas a experiência em si não foi muito boa. Já fiz váaaaarios mergulhos de batismo antes e nenhum deles o instrutor ficou tão em cima e próximo de mim como esse. Sem falar que eu questionei a questão da visibilidade, eles falaram que seria de boa mas na verdade a água estava muuuito turva, e mesmo eu perguntando não levaram em consideração para o mergulho. Então tendo como base outros mergulhos que já fiz, esse foi o pior de todos. Não recomendo.”

5.Discovery Scuba Diving Experience for Beginners

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 6 reviews · 5 hours · from $150

Beginner-friendly scuba in Paraty with warm clear Costa Verde water, full gear and a pro instructor, plus practice time before your underwater session.

“The dive itself was fabulous. I got one dive while everyone else got two, if not more in some cases. It was never explained to me why I only get one. I also have to say the organisers made little or no effort being the only non national in the group. This I found really poor. One guy did his best and that's all that's expected due to communication challenges. An effort is always appreciated! The guide to my dive did make me feel I was in good hands. I definitely would not recommend doing this trip if you've no Portuguese. I rarely give bad reviews but felt invisible on…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 5 reviews · 10 hours · from $255

Full-day Arraial do Cabo scuba sessions from Rio, with small-group care, clear Atlantic water, and bonus snorkeling, wildlife, and scenery.

“(Part 1) I visited Rio de Janeiro a week ago. I wanted to book one day scuba diving trip. Safety was an important aspect, as I was alone. This is why I was looking for arrangement with hotel pick up option. Among numerous online offers I have found GetYourGuide platform. This platform had the most detailed description of the trip, especially about the diving. This was the reason to choose this option. There were positive and negative impressions. Positive: Bruno was my guide. Very dedicated to his job, with official and respectful approach to the client. He was giving many interesting pieces of information during relatively long trip (2.5 hours)…”

“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.”
