DIVER'S NETWORK - MANILA

Based in the tropical paradise known as Manila, The Dive Shop is a s extremely professional PADI 5 Star IDC Dive Center.Over the last twelve years it has steadily established itself as one of the best dive centers in the Philippines. They have also recently secured their own brand of recreation and technical equipment.
However, The Dive Shop does not claim to be the biggest around and certainly doesn't want to be known as a " production line " dive center. As they like to put it, "We are a Dive center run by Divers for Divers, a place where customers have names and not numbers". A place where safety and a positive learning experience are valued highest.
The shop itself was founded in 2000 by one PADI Instructors Tom Morato, their reason for opening was simple, they wanted to offer a level of service to others that they themselves would want in a Dive operation.

HOW IT'S PROGRESSED
With the Dive and tourist industry progressing, The Dive Shop have adapted with it. They run smalll courses and trips with special effort concerning scheduling to "avoid the crowds". They have one of the 1st Padi Course Directors Tim Aukshun running Instructor training courses throughout the year.

We can teach in several lungages. Korean, Spanish, Italian, English.
 
 
 

As well as updating all training materials, layout and style to keep current with all the new PADI programs and philosophies and flexible schedules to suit your holidays needs. As times change in the dive industry and Manila itself, you can be rest assured that the Dive Shop will continuously update, progress and strive to be the best diving and training facility in this region.
