"Ricardo has an uncanny ability to choose the perfect locations based on daily conditions, leading us to discover breathtaking sites with fascinating rock formations, vibrant marine life, and beautiful coastal birds. During our excursions, we encountered an amazing variety of sea life – from colorful fish to curious crabs – all while swimming through crystal-clear waters along the dramatic Algarve coastline."

It was an extraordinary experience! Ricardo has profound knowledge of the region and great expertise in swimming, guiding each activity with patience, technique, and warmth. The experience combined sports — with complete safety in open waters and technical training in the pool — and local culture, highlighted by carefully selected meals chosen by him. I highly recommend it! Algarve has left an unforgettable mark on me.
