PADI WORLD
The Way the World Learns to Dive®
PADI® (Professional Association of Diving Instructors®) is the world’s largest diver organization.
The PADI Education System is based on progressive training that introduces underwater students to skills, safety-related information and local environmental knowledge in stages. PADI courses are student-focused and provide maximum practice and realistic application.
PADI professionals enable exploration and underwater adventures while maintaining the highest standards of training, safety and customer service and bringing the PADI philosophy of the “Four Es” underwater lifestyle to the world: Education, Experience, Equipment, Ecology.
As a PADI center, we follow and maintain this way of training in every course, customizing it to meet your needs and your way of being. Because everyone is made in their own way and we are here to listen and follow your rhythm, breath after breath.
Digital learning
All PADI courses are available in digital version. PADI eLearning makes it easy to adapt a diving course to a busy life. Study and learn wherever you are and at the best time for you, offline or online, using a computer or mobile device. Connect with your instructor whenever you have a doubt.
It’s your course, you’ll do it in your time.
