Why PADI 5 Star Facility
For the Adventure of a Lifetime, and a Lifetime of Adventure!
Why choose a PADI 5 Star Facility?
It can be difficult to know where to begin when you first begin researching learning to dive. You Google dive classes and get a million responses. How do you know which ones are quality facilities, and which are guys teaching diving in their garage? Any PADI instructor can offer classes, they do not need to be affiliated with a quality dive center. They can put up professional looking websites and start selling classes and we cannot always tell the difference. You won't know they are not a quality facility till you get to their location. Unfortunately, such independents are not closely monitered by PADI for the quality of there programs until there is an accident or complaint.
On the other hand, PADI 5 Star Dive Centers must meet very rigid standards in order to atain and maintain the 5 Star rating. 5 Star Dive Centers must abide by established safety standards, as well as training standards in order to maintain their 5 Star rating. They must maintain a quality, full service dive center offering training, equipment sales and service, dive tours and more, that the certified diver is going to need in their diving adventures. Unlike the independents, 5 Star Dive Centers are monitered by PADI on a constant basis to make sure they are following established safety standards. PADI regularly removes 5 Star status from facilities that fail to continue to meet those standards. This is why when you start googling around you will find many offerings for dive training, but only a select few that can say they are PADI 5 Star Dive Centers.
