Summary: I went to take the Open Course and I only have words of thanks to both the Centre and my instructor Alex for their patience and their Training Capacity (in covers) both in and out of the water. I will certainly repeat my experience with them to take other courses and make some excursions. It is a formidable center both for its facilities and its material but especially for all the staff who work there. They're like a family. Perfectly organized, close, friendly, friendly but very professional and strict with training. All for our safety and enjoyment. If you are thinking of taking a PADI degree, I recommend GIDIVE as an instructional center.
