About Us
|
|
Incorporated in June 1997, Sandia Snorkel and Scuba, Inc. is a PADI 5-Star Instructor Development Center. As such, we are New Mexico's highest rated dive center. PADI is the world's largest and most recognized scuba diver certification agency.
A 5-Star rating means that you are taking advantage of our ability to issue the exclusive PADI 5-Star Certification Card.
The PADI 5 Star Instructor Development Center membership level is awarded to progressive PADI
Dive Centers that excel in providing dive consumers with a full range of diver
education programs through the professional instructor level courses, equipment selection, and experience opportunities and that
actively promote aquatic environmental awareness.
A PADI 5 Star Instructor Development Center is active in its community presenting a professional image consistent with, or
better than, the norm of the marketplace.
These dive centers embrace the PADI System of diver education and are committed to providing customers with
quality products, services and experiences.
This unique certification credential may be issued only by those PADI Dive Centers who have earned the 5-Star rating, and have a PADI Course Director on staff.
The greatest benefit you receive, though, is service --- the kind of high quality and personalized attention to detail that
we enjoy and keep in order to maintain our PADI 5-Star Instructor Development Center rating. Here are just a few services we
have to offer:
|
|
Code of Ethics -We provide our customers with well maintained, new, state-of-the-art rental and instructional equipment. We ensure that our staff members provide you with
honest, in-depth advice on the equipment we sell.
|
|
|
Scuba Service Center -"We Service What We Sell" means what it says: you'll be able to get fast, convenient, local service by manufacturer-qualified in-house service specialists on all the breathing equipment you buy from our dive center.
|
|
|
Pure Air Station -We have our air analyzed by an independent testing agency, a minimum of once every three months. In order to achieve and maintain this award, our air supply must always
meet or exceed the CGA Type E regulations for sport diving standards.
|
|
|
Community Involvement -Maintaining a positive image for diving among the people in our
community goes a long way toward assuring continuous community support for you and your diving
activities. A positive image for diving also helps bring more people into the sport, which in turn helps
create more diving opportunities for all divers -- including you. We publish newsletters, sponsor public diving events, promote diving education and activities, and offer Emergency First Response courses to the general public.
|
|
|
Educational Proficiency -This is your assurance that whenever you take a course from us, you can expect to be taught by highly qualified PADI Professional Instructors and receive a PADI certification.
We teach our classes using a multi-media classroom.
Your Safety and Enjoyment is Our Job One.
