There are about 18 PADI Dive Centres in Singapore and only a handful of them has the rating of a PADI 5 Star IDC - one of the highest rating given to a dive centre.

Read more about PADI Dive Centre Rating here.

Short of telling you why we are good, we will tell you what it takes to become a proper PADI 5 Star IDC Centre. Even though there are some PADI 5 Star Facilities which only meets minimal requirements, Orpheus Dive has superceded the minimal requirements, ensuring that our divers have a one stop dive centre and dive club.

Checklist for a PADI 5 Star Dive Facility

	Equipment Retail
	As a PADI 5 Star Dive Facility, a dive centre must provide in-house retail. Orpheus Dive has a well stocked inventory store covering major brands such as Scubapro, Zeagle, TUSA, Seac Sub, Beauchat, Trident, XS Scuba, Underwater Kinetics and Problue. In Singapore, there ARE ONLY TWO dive centres that are into full retail business. Note to diver : There are dive centres that make claims that they do have a retail business. However, they only have an online retail arm that purchase stocks when a customer makes an order. Unlike us, our well stocked store has everything that a diver needs. And because of the volume purchase, we are able to offer lower prices compared to the rest of the dive centre. See our Absolute Campaign for more information

	Equipment Servicing
	Orpheus Dive Singapore is an Authorized Service Centre for Scubapro, Apollo, Zeagle and Seac Sub. We have a fulltime service technician that is solely in charge of helping divers service their equipment and handling their annual servicing needs.

	Equipment Rental
	Orpheus Dive services and manages their own rental gear, unlike many independent dive centres and instructors who are dependent on others for their rental needs. All rental gears are serviced on a quarterly basis to ensure that they are kept in prime conditions. For more information on rental gears

	Dive Courses
	We offer all level of courses from programs for kids of 8 years old to Professional courses such as the PADI Instructor Development Program. For the past 7 years, we have held a Instructor Development Program with PADI Course Director Azman Sulaiman. Orpheus Dive is also one of the very few dive centres in Singapore that has co-written Distinctive Specialties - Specialties that can only be taught by us, which is approved by PADI. View PADI Specialties

	Dive Travel Program
	All Dive Centres MUST BE REGISTERED as a legitimate company with a travel license to conduct business such as dive courses and dive trips. Our fulltime staff and independent instructors has dived in exotic destinations such as Raja Ampat and Mozambique. We will be able to customize your dive travel needs based on your experience and budget. Note to Diver : Diving with a dive centre without a valid travel license can spoil the entire weekend. Singapore Tourism Board and Land Transport Authority has the right to suspend the entire trip as this is legally not allowed.
