WHY SCUBAFRIENDS?

The IDC courses are carried out following an international Padi standard therefore we all sell the same product but at different prices!

What changes then?      

Our diving is managed by a family which also includes our instructors and divemasters who work with us. You too will be welcomed into a real family and a path of professional growth that is so important for your future will certainly make the difference.

We work with seriousness and professionalism and our course directors and IDC staff are highly trained even if they do not carry out 1000 certifications per year, this is because we rely on quality and not on the number of patents issued.

So our advice is to become real and prepared instructors and not just one of many.
