Don’t take our word for it! See what Mark Murphy, owner of Oyster Diving, has to say about their PADI Five Star Dive Center upgrade:

Approximately 2 years ago Oyster Diving took the plunge and invested in our infrastructure to gain our PADI Five Star Dive Centre status. In a relatively short period of time we have recouped our investment and our turnover has grown further than we forecast. I put this down to several key factors; more assistance and contact with PADI who help us build our business by giving us a good business advice, helping us to attract new divers in the local community through joint local marketing initiatives as well as listening to our needs and wishes.
The PADI Five Star Center logo on our website adds credibility and reinforces our position as a premium dive centre. The PADI logo is synonymous with scuba diving training so the Five Star status means that customers know they are booking with a trust worthy and quality establishment.
We are now looking to invest further to become a PADI IDC center so that we can build customer loyalty even further by offering more professional scuba courses. I believe this will further enhance our premium brand position as well as attracting new customers who might not have come to us.
