DIVING: DIVE Services & Dive Shops

A guide to scuba dive services, dive shops, divemasters and diving guides on Tobago

Our listing includes every dive service on the island. If you are offered dive services from anybody not listed here, you should be highly suspicious and exercise the very greatest of caution (and please notify us).

Ranking System

We have ranked every dive shop in each of four categories - Safety Standards (35%) - Quality of Equipment (30%) - Customer Service (25%) and Range of Dive Sites Dived (10%). An overall award has been calculated using the weightings shown in brackets behind each category:

The information used to formulate the rankings comes from numerous diverse sources. For reasons of neutrality, we naturally try to utilise sources not directly connected with the Tobago dive industry. The rankings are based on the best information at our disposal and offered in good faith. Readers are urged to make their own enquiries to determine the suitability of any establishment.

In addition to our own rating, our readers have expressed their 'satisfaction' with the dive services through our Reader Satisfaction Rating polls. Hold your mouse over any Reader Satisfaction Rating (RSR) for further information. Click on the RSR rating bar to express your own 'satisfaction'.
