Two dives in one morning: reefs, walls and caves without renting gear you don't own

A double-dive scuba activity in Albufeira for certified Open Water divers and above, diving natural and artificial reefs, walls, caves and archaeological sites from a professional boat. You present your diver certificate at check-in, complete a medical questionnaire (standard procedure), and the guide assigns tanks and weights; the first dive runs up to 55 minutes, the second up to 50 minutes, with a surface interval for debriefing and briefing between them. Hot showers and logbook entry happen back at the facility.

The Experience

Two dives means two different sites in a single trip, which is what lets you move from shallow reef to wall or cave without the repetition of a single-dive day. The boat departs from Albufeira marina with your guide and a small team of divers. At the first site, the guide briefs the group on what you'll see and the dive plan, then you descend together. The first dive has a maximum duration of 55 minutes or 60 bar — whichever comes first — and when the group returns to the boat, you surface, catch your breath and swap stories while the crew prepares for the second site.

The surface interval includes a full debriefing of the first dive and a briefing for the second, so you know what to expect before you go down again. The second dive follows the same structure, running up to 50 minutes or 60 bar. This is where the day often opens up: if the first site was a reef, the second might be a wall or a cave system, or an archaeological site among the rocks. The variety is built into the schedule, not left to chance.

Back at the marina, hot showers are available, and you'll sit with the guide to fill in your logbook with the details of both dives — depth, time, what you saw. If you haven't dived in more than 18 months, book a refresh course beforehand; if you're bringing your own gear, you skip the equipment assignment step and move straight to the boat. Tanks, weights and a professional guide are included. Rental gear — suit, regulator, mask, gloves, boots and fins — costs an extra 20 euros, paid at check-in.

What’s included

  • Professional guide in English, Spanish or Portuguese.
  • tanks and weights for both dives.
  • hot showers at the facility after you return.
  • logbook entry and dive debrief at the end.

Is this one for you?Book this if you're a certified diver who wants two different sites in one morning without managing your own tanks and weights — the guide handles the logistics and the boat handles the transport, so you focus on the dives themselves. If you haven't dived in over 18 months, add a refresh course to your booking beforehand.

Top questions

Do I need to bring my own diving equipment or is it provided?

Tanks and weights are included with the dive. A professional guide is with you the whole time. Rental gear — suit, regulator, mask, gloves, boots and fins — is available for an extra 20 euros paid at check-in; if you bring your own equipment, you skip the rental step and proceed straight to the boat.

What happens if I haven't dived in a long time?

If you haven't dived for more than 18 months, book a refresh course before this double-dive trip. You'll need to present your diver certificate and complete a medical questionnaire and RTCW form at check-in, which is standard international procedure for all certified divers.

How long is each dive, and what's the time between them?

The first dive runs up to 55 minutes or 60 bar, whichever comes first. After you return to the boat, there's a surface interval for debriefing the first dive and briefing the second. The second dive runs up to 50 minutes or 60 bar. The whole activity takes around four hours from check-in to return to the marina.

What kind of sites will I dive on?

Dives in Albufeira include natural reefs, artificial reefs, walls, caves and archaeological sites among the rocks. The two dives are often at different site types, so you get variety within a single trip.

What do I need to bring or know before I book?

You must be a certified Open Water diver or higher. You'll need to present your diver certificate at check-in and complete a medical questionnaire; some pre-existing conditions like asthma or heart conditions may prevent you from diving, so consult your doctor beforehand. Knowing how to swim is essential. Children under 10 years old or under 1.40m in height are not permitted, and diving within 48 hours of flying is not recommended.

Is there anything after the dives are finished?

Yes. Back at the facility, hot showers are available, and you'll meet with the guide to fill in your logbook with the details of both dives before you leave.
