PADI 5 stars courses with Rainbow Divers
 
PADI 5 STAR COURSES

all courses are run/co-ordinated by the top PADI Instructor-Trainers in Vietnam!

Over 1,500 students certified annually

Scuba Diver, Open Water Dive, Advanced Open Water, Rescue Diver, Speciality Dive Course, Master Scuba Diver, Divemaster, Assistant Instructor, IDC & IE, Referrals, Cross-Overs, Expats

We teach only PADI Courses at Rainbow Divers, but welcome students & divers from all Dive Associations.

PADI courses with Rainbow Divers tend to be more expensive than in the rest of Vietnam. We make no apologies for this as we know it is reflected in our levels of service and safety (and of course fun!). All training courses are kept to a maximum of 4 students with 1 Instructor. This ensures personalised and more thorough tuition which in turn produces more confident & competent divers! This is definitely NOT conveyor-belt training which you can find in the busier parts of SE Asia. We believe that whilst you pay for your course, you EARN your certification. We are able to do this because we invest in quality Instructors. Our Instructor team usually comprises the only 2 PADI Course Directors in Vietnam, 5 Master Instructors, 10 IDC Staff Instructors, 5 MSDTs and several Open Water Instructors. We have been likened to a ‘Teacher-Training Hospital’ where you may have a newly qualified Instructor teaching you, but not far behind is a team of highly qualified experiienced Instructor-Trainers to ensure that you receive the best possible training!
