We have just been awarded the rating of PADI 5 Star dive Center by PADI. We are the only resort in Lembeh who has this rating and we are proud of it!!
The official description of a PADI Five Star Dive Center from PADI is:
PADI Five Star Dive Center Membership is awarded to progressive PADI Dive Shops that excel in providing scuba divers with a full range of scuba certification programs, scuba gear selection, and scuba experience opportunities. To qualify as PADI Five Star Dive Center, a dive shop must meet elevated service and business standards and both promote and offer only PADI scuba diving lessons as their recreational scuba diver training. These dive shops also actively promote underwater environmental awareness and embrace the PADI System of diver education, with a commitment to providing quality training, products, services and experiences.
Additionally, PADI Five Star Dive Resorts excel in providing traveling scuba divers with memorable scuba diving experiences, customer satisfaction, scuba diver safety and underwater environmental awareness by providing professional and outstanding service.
In summary, the rating denotes a high level of dive service with respect to:
– good air – regularly maintained tanks and compressor
– good equipment and boats
– experienced dive guides
– dive courses – we have a full-time PADI Instructor on-site, and can offer the full range of PADI courses from intro dives to divemaster courses
– commitment to our environment – all divers are asked to watch the Lembeh Video which describes how to muck dive, and we conduct a number of conservation programs such as our DM/Coral Reef Internship program where our DM candidates help with our coral transplanting and propogation program on our house reef
We want to congratulate our resort manager Danny & our instructor Matt. We think that the rating also denotes a great dive team, and they have done a great job of putting together a great team that works together to provide a great service. Its no accident that we are the #1 Speciality Lodging in the Manado area on TripAdvisor!
