About PADI

Dave Black has been a qualified PADI Staff Instructor since 2001, which qualifies him to teach and certify scuba diving students from entry level through to Assistant Instructor level.

Who are PADI?

PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) is the largest recreational diving organisation in the world, providing diver education from entry level SCUBA certification up to professional membership.

Professional PADI members (Dive Centres, Instructors, Assistant instructors & Divemasters) teach most of the world’s recreational divers while maintaining the highest industry standards for dive training, safety and customer service. The PADI System of diver education is based on progressive training that introduces skills, safety related information and local environmental knowledge to students in stages, beginning with the Open Water Diver certification. All the PADI programmes, entry-level through instructor training, fall under strict educational standards to maintain worldwide consistency and quality.

So, whether you complete your training in Lochcarron or the Seychelles, you will have mastered the skills that will be recognised in any PADI dive centre around the world.

What do PADI offer?

 PADI provides PADI Members (Dive Centres, Resorts, Education facilities & Instructors) with complete curricula and training materials for a variety of experience programmes and certification courses, from introductory programmes, such as Discover Scuba Diving, to leadership level training such as Divemaster.

PADI programmes are performance-based, which allows students to progress at their own pace. Students begin diver training by using PADI’s independent study materials and continue learning under the guidance of an instructor, this includes classroom sessions, confined water training sessions & open water training and experience.
