We regularly get the inevitable grumblings from other centres (charging up to double our prices) suggesting: ‘you only get what you pay for or there’s got to be something missing’ or little throw away comments like: ‘would you buy a cheap parachute?’
Our response is simple: We have been in this business longer than most of the centres that come up with these kind of comments, and what they won't tell you is that in many instances it was Maidstone Scuba School that trained THEM (from their first Try Dive right up to becoming a PADI Professional)! They came to the best!- Maidstone Scuba School - Raising Standards, Lowering Prices - Why Pay More?
Do the maths! We are up to 75% less than the others charge for exactly the same course, and the discounts don’t just apply to PADI courses. We supply a full range of equipment and we GUARANTEE to beat any genuine price!
