Omnimare

Tucked into the seaside town of Ubatuba on Brazil's São Paulo coast, Omnimare is a PADI 5 Star Dive Resort — a designation reserved for centres that make learning and exploring the underwater world as smooth as possible.

Courses and instruction

With a team of 7 PADI Instructors on hand, Omnimare is well set up to guide divers through PADI scuba diving programmes, whether you're taking your very first breaths underwater or building toward more advanced certifications. That instructor-to-student capacity means plenty of attention and a steady, confident pace as you progress.

Based in Ubatuba, the centre suits travellers who want a proper introduction to the sport as well as certified divers looking for a professional base along this stretch of Brazilian coastline. If you're planning a diving trip to the region, Omnimare is a natural place to start.
