Find out more about the school
In the essence of every diver there is a very strong desire to preserve nature. Curiosity about the world beneath the waves and the animals that inhabit the depths has attracted many generations of divers and we have inherited the tradition of protecting the environment that we enjoy every time we dive.
Diving is our passion and teaching new people about this world is our goal in life.
Água Viva Mergulho was founded in 2012 on these pillars. We believe that every diver has a duty to preserve nature and we strive to incorporate this mission into our diving operations, whether collecting fishing hooks, plastic bottles or organizing specific deep-sea cleaning expeditions.
For all our dedication to training conscious divers and promoting environmental conservation actions, we were honored by the Green Star Awards.
