Divus

Divus is the only official PADI dive center in Chungcheongnam-do directly resident and operated by a PADI Course Director — the level of instructor who trains other instructors. As a PADI 5 Star IDC backed by 7 PADI instructors, it's a serious training hub for divers in Asan, South Korea, where lessons are taught in both English and Korean.

Courses and what to expect

Whether you're starting fresh or building skills, the centre runs a full PADI pathway: the Open Water Diver Course over roughly 5 days, Advanced Open Water Diver across about 3 days, and a Dry Suit Diver speciality over around 2 days. Divers may encounter sharks, whales, turtles, ocean fish and more.

Facilities include an onsite classroom, air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, a retail shop, food and drinks, and parking. Nitrox, equipment sales, and a wide range of rental gear round out the offering, making Divus a well-rounded base for both new and returning divers.
