ProTec Tulum
Mexico, Tulum
ProTec is a shop that I had the treat to hang out with for a while at the end of 2018. The shop is outrageously professional and holds everything to a very high standard. If you are wanting to do any level of training I would highly recommend. I took my full cave course from them and will 100% be back for many years to come to fun dive, and take more courses.
All the dive sites are close by and easily accessible with a fun and friendly crew. Best in the area without a doubt.
ProTec is a small-to-medium dive center with an excellent filling station and unparalleled equipment.

Red Sea Explorers (RSE)

RSE is a liveaboard based company that specializes is epic dive trips around the Red Sea. Mostly based in Hurghada but also offers trips in Sudan. The company offers any kind of diving immaginable. Most people look at RSE and only see the technical side of the operation, however, the diving and dive guides here are perfectly suitable for all forms of Recreational diving.
Most trips are a week long, full of fish and wrecks, and not to be missed.

B & J Diving Centre (B&J)
Malaysia, Tioman, ABC
B & J is a hidden gem of a dive school. Tucked away on a small beach with a narrow walkway from an old pier you will find this dive shop very easily. It is impossible to get lost, there's only the one road. The people here are some of the nicest in the industry. With fast speed boats, plenty of dive sites, and excellent organization, this shop is a top notch place to be. B & J can easily help you with any of your diving needs, from recreational to professional and technical diving, they have you covered.
B & J is a small school (by most standards), yet the quality is unmatched on Tioman. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Roctopus Dive (Rocto)
Thailand, Koh Tao
I was previously the Roctopus Pro Manager at Roctopus! My main job was dealing with and directly training Dive Masters and teaching Specialties. Rocto is a shop that you should not miss. High energy people and great diving staff. All boat diving, large boats, plenty of room to move around, and well-trained instructors. More focused on recreational diving and divemaster training but Technical courses are ALWAYS welcome. This is the best it gets on Koh Tao.
Rocto is a medium (for Koh Tao) sized dive shop that will always bend over backwards to help you out when you need.
