PADI OR SDI
We are an SDI shop, we chose them for their flexibility in how we can teach. This means we can tailor each course to your needs and find the best way to help you with any difficulties you find in your studies.
Both PADI and SDI are worldwide agencies with big names.
Agencies don't train divers; they create training materials and certification requirements. The instructor makes the difference.
Our Instructors are very experienced and are all technical divers. We chose to work under the agency of SDI as it best supports us in passing on our knowledge to you.
We also have PADI instructors available.
