PADI SCUBA COURSES

PADI SCUBA COURSES

Overview

PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) was founded in 1966 and is a privately owned corporation that publish manuals on SCUBA diver training and allow instructors to certify divers who have gone through a sanctioned PADI diving course. While there are a number of other SCUBA training agencies, PADI is  currently the worlds largest recreational SCUBA diving agency. At Marine Conservation Philippines we have chosen to offer our volunteers the PADI range of  courses in addition to the scientific diving training.

The PADI Method

PADI materials are easy to understand, come in many different languages and are comprehensive enough, that a reader will get to know what he needs to know for the current level of diving, no more, no less. The PADI philosophy is that divers should get in the water as soon as possible – after all, it’s in the water you learn to dive, not in the classroom. The actual SCUBA training is focused on the needs of the individual students, and is performance based. In other words, people learn differently, but once you’ve mastered whatever skill you are trying to learn, you can move on.  Unlike a scientific divers license, which has to be renewed every few years, and where you have stay active with your scientific diving, a PADI dive license will never expire. Of course that doesn’t mean divers won’t lose proficiency over time if they stay dry, but the actual license will not expire.

While there are a multitude of certifying scuba diving agencies, we’ve chosen to employ the PADI system of education because it’s recognised worldwide and enjoy an excellent safety record. This is partly due to superior educational material, (even if the Open Water Video is a little cheesy) but also in part due to a rigorous quality assurance program. If Scuba instructors don’t adhere to strict protocols and safety rules, they’re simply expelled from PADI. This assurance has served PADI and their students well for decades.
