Dive RarotongaDive center

Dive Rarotonga has been going for 40 years, and as a PADI 5 Star Dive Center in the Cook Islands it teaches everything from Discover Scuba to instructor and EFR Instructor ratings. It also has some unusual extras: distinctive specialties built around reef surveying, Nitrox blended to 40 percent, and hydrostatic cylinder testing.

The center has its own training pool, rents mostly Scubapro gear, services Scubapro and Mares equipment, and keeps a shop. Every member of the team is an instructor. Courses are offered in English, French and Japanese.
