Scuba Diving International (SDI)SDI was created in 1999 and grew out of the success of our sister company TDI, which specializes in the more advanced disciplines of dive training. Both students and instructors have embraced the no nonsense approach that the SDI training system offers. We have streamlined the course materials to let students study the essential academics with an emphasis on practical diving skills learned in both the pool and open water environments. SDI is the only agency to require students to be taught with modern dive computers from the onset of training. SDI course materials are state-of-the-art; the materials are lavishly illustrated with photography and graphics. Diving is constantly changing. SDI staff is always looking forward and striving to be the innovators in scuba diving education. SDI focus is to make the experience of diving one that is enjoyed by every family member. SDI staff are all active divers; and want to share the love of the sport. Scuba

The SDI Advanced Diver Development Program was created to make truly "Advanced Divers". Under the old way of training a student could take an Advanced Course right after an Open Water course and only have a total of nine (9) dives all under the direct training of an instructor. The SDI - Advanced Diver Development program requires a new OW student to take four (4) SDI specialties or equivalent, along with having a total of twenty five(25) logged dives.
