PADI
Already in 2004, we switched to PADI education and soon joined the most numerous diving association on the planet. About 70% of all divers in the world are members of the Padi Association.
In 2009, after harmonizing with PADI standards, we became a "PADI RESORT".
In 2013, we became a PADI Five Star Dive Resort
AQUA LUNG
In 2009 we became AQUA LUNG partner center. Aqua Lung is the largest and the highest quality manufacturer of diving equipment in the world. Our dive center is dominated by their diving equipment.

Whilst reading previous reviews, I came across your argument "In our country,we have strict rules and we follow Padi standards and procedures." That is DEFINITELY not true!
I... read more turned up and they just started giving me stuff to gear up and get ready.
They asked me 'what level are you? How many dives have you done?' But at no point did anyone check my certification or care about there being any validity in what I said. The dive centre in Dubrovnik I did some diving with the following week were much stricter about checking my card!
FAR worse, they didnt ever ask me to fill in the official PADI medical form. I just turned up, did some diving and left. They have no real record of me diving or any of my details at all!!!
Thankfully it was all okay, but I have to answer yes to one of the medical questions so I have to get my doctor to sign a copy of the form before I go away to say that my condition doesnt affect my suitability to dive. It is a lifelong condition with daily medication and Venus had no idea!
Again, in Dubrovnik, the centre took a photocopy of the form my doctor signed before allowing me to dive. This has always been the case everywhere I've been diving. I was shocked and appalled that neither my certification OR my medical details were checked.
Absolutely disgraceful safety standards.
