Hi,
I got a job offer from Werner Lau (wernerlau.com) and from Scuba College (scuba-college.com).

As I have never work with them I wonder if anyone here has knowledge/information for me.
I plan to work with them long time and would apreciate your experience diving/working with them.

Both gave about the same offer so I am not sure where I will go at the end.

Thank you very much,
Wolfram

In general, Nuweiba is quieter than Sharm and Marsa Alam. Might be as quiet as Taba.

Thanks.

What I am most concerned is if there are any points which I should be aware of with these companies? Did they have only positive customer responses and work is just great with both or else?
I do not wish to speak negative about either but I will need to make a decision and as I do not know them I wonder if there is anyone who has had contact with both or one of them?
I know of a specific company in Manado who is not even paying their instructors even they sign a contract!!!

Thanks again,
Wolfram

Why protect the culprit and allow more fellow divers to get hurt by these guys? Give us a name.

Oh, and btw, I have no experience with either companies. Sorry.

Sorry but not in public even they deserve it. 1 Instructor they did not pay and 1 Instructor they even got forced out of Indonesia!!!
I know both of them but I do not write names in public. Only I can say is they are on Bunaken island on the North East side.

Of the two I would think that Werner Lau would be your best bet. They do have an international reputation.

I assume that Scuba College are based in Nuweiba. If you are young and single the life there may not suit you.

If you are looking at Werner Lau then I assume it is either Sharm, Taba or Marsa Alam. In all centers they are based in good hotels and are professionally run.

For financial security I know who I would chose.
