Being different was our choice.
Choosing the right training partner is yours...
When we embarked on the journey to create the best dive training organization
in existence, we've raised the bar very high. Some would say that we even raised
it too high. But we genuienly believe that diving can only be fun and engaging when
backed by professional grade knowledge.
This is why we have created this handy checklist for your use. Feel
free to print a copy and bring with you or use it to jot down notes when visiting
or calling other dive training facilities.

Ask first!
Before you commit to any dive education ask your instructor about their
credentials. Call PADI to verify their good standing and teaching status. Call their
main number. Check BBB rating. Be informed, be smart.
So nice of you.
