The centre is managed by Brigitte and Wildo, who oversee a team of dedicated PADI professionals. The staff is trained to deliver high-quality service with a focus on technical competence and ocean conservation.

Instruction is tailored to the individual, with an emphasis on small class sizes to ensure personalised attention. This approach is applied across their wide range of courses, from beginner levels through to professional internships.

The training catalogue is extensive, covering all levels of the PADI system. Beginners can start with the PADI Open Water Diver course or the Discover Scuba Diving experience, while those looking to progress can enrol in the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver, Deep Diver, or Rescue Diver courses.

For professional aspirants, the centre offers the PADI Divemaster course and internship.

The centre also provides unique training such as the PADI Invasive Lionfish Tracker and the PADI Search & Recovery Diver course.

The centre offers a full range of equipment hire for divers and freedivers. You can rent complete sets including BCDs, regulators, masks, snorkels, fins, wetsuits, dive computers, and torches for night dives.

For those who prefer to travel light, individual items such as masks, snorkels, and fins are also available. Nitrox is provided on-site, and the centre also stocks weights and cylinders for rental.

The local reefs are home to a variety of marine life, including frequent sightings of sea turtles. The underwater scenery is defined by healthy coral structures that provide habitat for numerous species.

Macro life enthusiasts can look for various smaller creatures amongst the reef crevices and sandy patches. The area is well-suited for those who enjoy observing the smaller, more intricate details of the Caribbean marine ecosystem.
