PADI vs SSI
What’s the difference and how does it affect me?

PADI and SSI are the two largest scuba diver certification bodies in the world. Their qualifications are recognised everywhere and are mutually compatible – your SSI qualification will enable you to take the next step up in the PADI system and vice versa.

Which gives better training?

Training and safety standards in both organisations are set by the World Recreational Scuba Training Council (click here for WRSTC information). This means there’s no basic difference in the skills you will learn from either PADI or SSI, or the safety standards they adhere to. In both systems – as in any system of learning – the character and experience of your Instructor will be the most important factor in your course.

At the early stages of diving education most PADI Dive Courses have an SSI Dive Courses equivalent and vice versa. The exception is the PADI Advanced Adventurer course, which is a stepping-stone to their full PADI Advanced course. SSI’s Advanced Adventurer course is equivalent to PADI’s full advanced course – there isn’t an SSI version of PADI Advanced Adventurer.
