Please remember that when you are choosing a place to do your diving course, it is not the center that is important, but the instructor.

If you are unsure please ask the center who your instructor will be and ask to see their qualifications. Here at Dive Travel Asia, the instructors that we use have a minimum of 1000 dives, and must have been an instructor for at least 5 years.
