It prides itself on its customer service and is committed to Diver Safety, Diver Enjoyment and Customer satisfaction. It is continually looking at ways to upgrade and improve its services.
Scuba diving is the sport of swimming deep underwater and using self-contained breathing apparatus. Through carrying a container of compressed air, a diver is able to remain underwater much longer than with the natural breath holding methods used in Snorkeling and Free-diving, and is not held back by air-lines to an attached air source. The scuba diver usually swims underwater by using flippers on the feet. A few divers do move around with the assistance of a DPV (Diver Propulsion Vehicle), commonly referred to as a "scooter", or by using surface-tethered devices called sleds pulled by a boat.
