Argos DivingDive center

Argos Diving teaches from the Cultural and Sports Center in Nanshan District, Shenzhen, and has been at it for 13 years. This PADI 5 Star IDC Center says it has trained more than ten thousand students and over two hundred professionals.

Practice starts in a five-meter aquarium tank at Bell Nature Discovery Park, where students share the water with fish. For open water the club heads to Judiaosha Bay on the Dapeng Peninsula, known for clear water on the southeast edge of the city.

Freediving and mermaid courses run alongside scuba, taught in Mandarin.
