When choosing where to dive and who with there are many choices. Not all PADI programs are the same - and neither are all PADI facilities.

The PADI Organisation states that the only place where you can obtain all the Dive Education, Dive Equipment and Dive Experiences is a DIVE CENTRE.

Having been open for over 5 Years now, our success in climbing the PADI rankings for UK Dive Centres is proof of our commitment to Customer Service & Quality – our Dive Students keep coming back for more…and more... and more! In 2005 we achieved PADI’s Top 10 UK centres, and Top 5 in 2006 & 2007.

There are a great many Dive "Resorts" and Independent Dive "Schools" run by instructors around the region; quite often offering cheap(er) services....
