About PADI
Phuket Scuba Line 1a

PADI Logo PADI stands for Professional Association of Diving Instructors. Founded more than 30 years ago in the USA, PADI has become the largest international diver-certifying agency in the world. Today more diving certifications are issued by PADI than by all of the other agencies combined. This has the advantage of worldwide recognition of PADI diving certifications, and allows divers to continue their education anywhere in the world. More than 3000 Dive Centers and Resorts are recognized for their achievement and their ability to train divers to the highest standards as well as for safety and quality in all the services provided.
PADI issues different certifications to recognize divers that have more experience and skill, ranging from the Open Water Diver to Course Director. Each of the steps in the continuing education ladder ensures the diver receives additional training and experience to make them a more knowledgeable diver. And if for any reason students can not complete their course with the original instructor, it will not be a problem to find another PADI dive center in a different location. PADI dive centers are located everywhere people dive. The PADI system of diver education allows for easy referrals at almost any point in a course.
