Diving School in HK

I live in Macau and I want to take a diving course, so I'd like to hear suggestions on HK's best diving school(s), based on safety and price.

Thanks.
Pedro

I'd like to know that too.

This is what I've found online:

Does any body has any recommendations on which one is good for beginners?

Thanks

Most of them can be able to provide PADI diving courses from beginner to advance level. They can also provide the diving equipments so it will be very convenience. Of course: diving might involve certain danger, but make sure you check all the equipments properly before jumping into the sea: always try to keep 2 people together as a group and listen to your diving instructors? instruction. This should be OK and give you a lot of fun in the underwater group.

How safe are the diving schools in Hong Kong? I heard some horror stories a few years ago whith instructors losing students in shallow waters, causing death.

Has the situation improved? Is there a new safety code amongst the diving schools?

Thanks for the feed-back, LWC

Many Westerners in HK obviously prefer to go with companies where English is spoken as the first language.

Mandarin Divers is one company that offers this.

As to general safety issues, HK companies have certainly lost people before. The chance of something like this happening is far higher though when you are diving with lots of people around and insufficient divemasters to handle that number.

This tends to happen more with the cheaper operators. Try not to penny pinch too much when booking a trip and ask for assurances that the ratio of divers to divemasters if not too high.

This is problem is by no means confined to HK it should be said. Whenever you get quoted a notably low price for a dive, you should take care that the operator is not cutting corners on safety.
