| About Dive
Asia
Dive Asia established in 1988 is one of Thailand's
largest and most
experienced dive centers. Three well designed dive boats take you
to
Thailand's and Burma's best dive sites. And being designated by
PADI as
Phuket's first Career Development Center (CDC) will no doubt add
to its
growing reputation as the place to go for diving courses.
In 1999, 2000, 2001 and again in 2002, 'Tauchen', Europe's largest
diving
magazine, honored Dive Asia as one of the best dive centers in the
Southeast
Asia/Pacific area. And in 2001 and 2002 Dive Asia became the first
dive
center worldwide to be honored twice with PADI's prestigious 'Hallmark
of
Excellence Award' for 'Outstanding Contribution to Instructor Development'
