Dive centres & diving schools

Not every diving career starts on an offshore barge. Scientific diving, cave and technical training, wreck diving, freediving and marine conservation are all real routes into working underwater, and the dive count, water comfort and failure drills they build are the foundation that any occupational course assumes you already have.

This is an open directory of dive centres, technical diving schools, freediving clubs and scientific diving academies — what each one teaches, what it costs where prices are published, who runs it, and how to reach them. For occupational training that leads to offshore work, see our directory of commercial diving schools and the guide on how to train as a commercial diver.
