About FindADive

What is FindADive?

FindADive is a global directory of scuba diving schools and dive centres, built to help divers at every level find the right school — whether for their first Open Water course, a Divemaster certification, or a guided dive at a world-class site. We currently list over 500 verified dive schools across more than 50 countries, from Thailand and Indonesia to Egypt, the Maldives, and beyond.

Every school in our directory is sourced from verified business data: Google Maps ratings, addresses, phone numbers, and location information, cross-referenced with dive community feedback. We do not sell placements — every listing is included on editorial merit.

Our Editorial Standards

No paid listings. Dive schools are included based on verified business data, not advertising spend. Schools cannot pay to appear or to rank higher.
Accurate, sourced data. School ratings, contact details, and location data are drawn from Google Maps and cross-referenced with dive agency databases. Data is updated regularly.
Practical focus. We prioritise what divers actually need: certifications offered, location, languages spoken, ratings, and contact information.
Honest affiliate links. Some pages may contain affiliate links to dive courses or dive experiences. These are clearly integrated as useful resources. We earn a small commission on bookings at no extra cost to you — this supports the running of the site.
