How We Rank Beginner Diving Centers
ScubaProof aggregates Google Maps reviews and AI-extracted safety data to compute a Trust Score for each dive center. Safety rating carries 50% of the weight — because in diving, safety is non-negotiable. Centers with active red flags are penalized regardless of their review count. Our rankings are updated every 24 hours.
