Why choose us ?
To be honest, we’re not trying to compete with everyone and be... just another dive center. We feel that there is room for each dive center to offer something to the industry and then allow you, the customer, to chose what is best for your diving needs.
We have been asked many times by divers, “Why should I choose you?” That is a very good question. Our answer would be; you shouldn’t unless what we offer is right for you and meets your needs and aspirations as a recreational diver, tec diver or instructor candidate. If another dive center is a better fit for you, then we would be happy to see you dive with them and enjoy seeing you at one of the many dive sites around Gozo.
Our teaching methods and training focus are both unique and different. Our focus is on you, the diver. It is on supporting you to become a safe and effective diver by concentrating on progressively building knowledge and skills around; your equipment, the skills requirements for your diver level, and the ability to plan and safely execute dives according to your training and experience. We really do care that you become a good and safe diver and we care about the standard of service and education that we give you. Of course, this level of service comes at a price, but your safety comes first, and it is ultimately up to you whether you choose to make this level of investment in yourself and your diving.
So what makes us different from others dive centers?
More than 41 years of experience in diving and operating dive centers around the world.
