A dive center outgrew its old Joomla site and needed one that could show its reputation and take bookings directly.
The client
Manta Diving Madeira is a leading scuba diving center in Caniço de Baixo, Madeira, operating within the protected Garajau Marine Reserve. Located at the Sentido Galomar Hotel, it welcomes local and international divers with modern facilities, experienced staff, and access to crystal-clear, conservation-focused waters.
The challenge
The existing Joomla site had not been updated in years and undersold the center's certifications, awards, and dive sites. It needed a fresh, responsive design that connects with an international audience and lets divers request sessions directly, without extra calls or emails.
What Manta Diving needed, and what we built
The need

How we worked
Gathering the brand
The existing Joomla-based site had not been updated for years. We began by gathering all available brand assets and written content for a fresh start.
Designing for divers
We created a custom high-fidelity design, reviewed it in detail with the owner, then built it in WordPress as a clean, responsive site for divers.
Launching in two languages
The site launched in English and German, reflecting the center's international clientele, with a system in place to add more languages easily.
The result
Divers now find the reserve's dive sites and request a session in their own language.
Multilingual support and improved usability made it simpler for users to request dive sessions directly online, strengthening Manta Diving Madeira's position within the diving community, locally and abroad.
What the site does
- Presents certifications, awards, and services clearly
- Promotes the Garajau Marine Reserve's dive sites
- Takes dive session requests directly online
- Runs in English and German, ready for more languages
