Freelancer Trainers, Flexible timing if you want to learn scuba after your office timings, Focused on individuals, can extend the course till 2~3 weeks unless you learn diving. CONS: Not so far. PROS and CONS of SCUBAMASTER: PROS: Provides you a Free learning DVD. I haven't tried them personally due to their timings restricitions. CONS: They have their course valid for a week. You need to adjust your time or to take one week vacation if you work. Diving Course for both centre: - First 10 HOURS: Theoretical Classes on basic know-how. - Next : Fresh water diving classes - Next : Half moon underwater diving with instructors - Certified, They will arrange your certificate card from PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructor) - PADI is World's largest recreational diving membership and diver training organization.
