PADI or Another Organization? Why We Choose PADI for Dive Training

Which Diving Association Is the Best? And Why We Recommend PADI

When you decide to embark on your underwater adventure, one of the first and most important questions you’ll face is: Which diving association should I choose for my training? There are several international organizations on the market, each offering its own courses, standards, and approaches. Among the most well-known are PADI, SSI, CMAS, NAUI, IANTD, TDI, and others.

At Ahla Dive, we confidently and intentionally recommend PADI — and here’s why.


What Is PADI?
