PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) has set out a ladder to success making it easier for all divers to advance in diving without having to do anything you don’t want to. But why would you not want to do anything in the amazing world of scuba diving.

As you can see becoming a Dive Master is not an easy thing to do and takes many years but with PADI you can still enjoy great diving with only an Open Water certification. PADI have worked with many diving research institutes to formulate a safe but effective diving certification system that had benefited many divers world wide. It is one of the only certifications recognised by any dive shop worldwide. PADI issues more than 950 000 certifications each year, make one of them yours.
