PADI Divers carry the most respected and sought after scuba diving credentials in the world.
In November 2015 PADI launched a full-scale freediving program. We are happy to be the first freedive center in the Philippines, to offer all of the levels of PADI Freedive training from beginner all the way up to PADI instructor development.
No matter where you choose to dive, your PADI certification card will be recognized and accepted. In fact, on most diving adventures, you’ll be surrounded by other PADI Divers who made the same certification choice you did – to train with the world’s largest and most respected diving training organization.
