It's owned and run by Vernon Vas, a PADI Course Director and Instructor with over 20 years of diving and dive instruction experience, who has trained enthusiasts of all ages and across many levels.

With 2 PADI Instructors on the team, the centre delivers a full training pathway — PADI Scuba Diving, PADI TecRec, Rebreather/CCR Diving, PADI Snorkelling and PADI First Aid (EFR).
