Core Competencies...

Unsurpassed Customer Service and Knowledge
We recognize our strength and competitive advantage is our people performing outstanding customer service, and developing excellent programs and products. We pride ourselves in listening to the needs of our markets and exceeding their expectations.

International Program Integration
We continuously develop and advance the PADI System of diver education into countries and territories of the world with a consistent, standardized and state-of-the-art approach while adapting to diverse cultures, customs, protocols and languages on a local level. Together, our world offices provide the PADI membership with unsurpassed quality in our educational materials, publications and support services, in a uniform, reliable and consistent manner.

Unparalleled Educational Validity
PADI's courses have been independently evaluated and recommended for college credit equivalency by the American Council on Education (ACE). We are proud of the ACE approval as an independent corroboration of the educational validity of our courses. All PADI credentialed divers are entitled to receive this benefit. PADI courses have received similar recognition from other educational institutions internationally. Discriminating dive students should ask why PADI has been the only training organization with this distinction.

Unequaled Diversity in our Professional Membership
With 100,000 professional members operating in 175 countries and territories, PADI Instructors are the most ethnically, culturally and racially diverse group of dive educators in the world. This means that potential dive consumer seeking diver education has a much greater chance of finding a PADI course offered in their country by a person from their own culture and in their own language. We are proud of our professional dive educators and our internationally consistent, diverse and culturally adapted training system.
