PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) is the world's largest recreational diving membership organization. The PADI System of diver education is based on state of the art instructional system design theory, and progressive training that introduces skills, safety related information and local environmental knowledge to students in stages. PADI courses are student-centered and provide for maximum practice and application. Students learn the basics through independent study and then are guided through additional development by their instructors. The goal is to get students in the water as soon as possible and provide them with the instruction necessary to gain confidence in their diving abilities. PADI's entry-level scuba certification is Open Water Diver. Once certified, divers can continue their education by becoming Advanced Open Water, Specialty and Rescue Divers. Further training, such as the Divemaster and Assistant Instructor courses, allow interested divers to become dive leaders. Divers looking for scuba diving careers most often choose to become PADI Instructors.

Project Aware (Aquatic World Awareness, Responsibility and Education) encompasses PADI's environmental awareness and protection philosophy. Through our training, you'll learn the importance of protecting fragile aquatic ecosystems and are encouraged to become involved in preservation efforts.
