Why is it Important to do an Internationally Recognized PADI Course?

Doing a PADI course will give you the skills and confidence to explore the world's most awesome underwater environments. It will open a whole new perspective on life, making you aware of the fact that there is so much more out there than what meets the eye.

Sharing, discovering, and discussing your dives with like-minded people here in Sydney can be great, but there is nothing to beat going diving with fellow divers around the world.

PADI is the world’s largest scuba diving training organization. When you complete a PADI course, you are recognized and certified to dive anywhere in the world. This gives you access to some of the most amazing dive destinations on the planet.

The PADI system is also very comprehensive, teaching you everything you need to know to be a safe and confident diver. This makes it a smart choice for those who want to learn to dive quickly and easily. And because PADI is so widely respected, dive operators will recognize your certification everywhere.

To become an internationally recognized PADI diver means you can enjoy that type of experience in places like Fiji, Philippines, Mexico, or Egypt to name just some destinations. Being able to share your passion for diving with like-minded people from all around the world is great for any diver.

Because there are Dive Centres in Australia that issue certifications not recognized by the controlling body for scuba certification (WRSTC), and divers' certifications from these dive shops risk having their certification not recognized if they travel to other dive shops within Australia or around the world. It would be so disappointing to travel thousands of kilometres to find you cannot dive because your certification is not recognized.

With more than 6,200 PADI dive centres and dive shops, and more than 136,000 individual PADI Professionals who have issued more than twenty-three million certifications around the world, you can find PADI diver courses and scuba diving services everywhere and if you cannot find a PADI store then your certification will be recognized by any other RSTC member.

Ensure your scuba certification is internationally recognized, get a PADI certification.
