A huge CONGRATULATIONS to all our students completing their Diploma in Professional Scuba Instruction (DIPSI). We have a 100% completion rate from everyone who began the full-time course way back in February 2015.
After a lot of hard work and dedication (and heaps of fun diving) our students head in to the work force as PADI Scuba Instructors, with 5 specialty ratings (Nitrox, Wreck, Deep, Oxygen Provider, Navigation), Medic First Aid Instructors and Emergency First Response Instructors.

Thanks for everything and I would recommend it to everyone!!
