“Great diving club situated on the beach of Coral Sea Sensatori; even better they will collect from other hotels so we'll definitely be back! My husband & 11yr old son took advantage of some cloudy weather and completed their Open Water Diver PADI.”

Themes across the reviews Google returns — at most 5 per place, picked by relevance, not at random. Not independent reports, and not enough reviews to tell you a shop is safe.
This is not a safety rating. It records what an operator publishes and what its reviewers happen to mention — nothing here says an operator is safe or unsafe.
