PADI, SSI, NAUI – What’s the difference?

August 14, 2010

We are frequently asked, “What’s the difference between PADI, SSI, NAUI and the other scuba certification agencies?”   Our answer…not a lot.   We all teach scuba.  And we all work, in our own ways, to create safe, independent and conciencious divers.  Seriously, there are only so many ways to breathe off of a regulator.    [...]
