PADI stands for Professional Association of Diving Instructors. Founded more than 30 years ago in the USA, PADI has become the largest international diving certification agency in the world. Today more diving certificates are issued by PADI than by all of the other agencies collectively. This has the advantage of worldwide recognition of PADI certification and allows divers to continue and progress anywhere in the world.
The PADI Discover Scuba / Discover Scuba Diving programs let you experience the thrill of diving under the supervision of a PADI Instructor in pool or pool like conditions, such as those found at a resort.
During your adventure, you'll master some basic concepts and scuba skills and might even head off on an open water adventure.
