Is there a TDI training faciltiy or instructor in/around Sipidan that is recommended.
I will be visiting in August and have yet to book with anyone yet, but don't wish to leave it too late in order to secure a permit or two. In particular I have been recommended to dive Turtle Tomb and would therefore prefer to complete a cavern course.
I am also hesitant to sign up for a PADI course as in my experience PADI centres and instructors are far to keen to ensure you sign up for EANx or Intro to Cave instead of insuring you can actually dive, and can competently meet the criteria for the certification. If I can help it I intend to give as little money to the organisation as possible.
Is it possible to dive Sipidan and it;s surroundings with a quality centre that provides Nitrox, and yet stay in backpacker accommodation, not the dive resort?
The situation with permits is such that I do not wish to turn up and scout around.
Thanks,
Nic
