VERDICT

Should I use Divexplore?

We value your privacy - divexplore.co.uk

Depends. This is a small scuba dive school in Bridgend, South Wales — worth using if you are local and want PADI, SDI or SSI training. It is not software; if you came for a tool, the name collides with an unrelated video-search research product.

Confidence

Medium. Based on 14 public sources. Warning: 'Divexplore' collides with an academic video-search tool and foreign dive shops, so most online reviews are not about this business.
