Scuba Certification

Most scuba resorts and tour guides will not allow you to dive without proper scuba certification. The process of gaining certification is not very difficult, and instructors can be found in most communities. Many state part and recreation services provide scuba training, as do many universities.

The vast majority of scuba classes are geared towards earning a PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) certification. This organization is the most widely recognized scuba training system in the world. Because PADI courses are performance based, the length of training will vary from person to person.

PADI courses require that the student master various techniques before a scuba certification is awarded. However, this certification does not mean that you are a master diver. Professional divers undergo years of training before they can be considered a master.
