SDI & PADI Diver Training Courses
Diving is one of the greatest adventures of a lifetime and learning has never been easier. Why waste another minute? Our mission at Castaway Divers is to train divers to be proficient and responsible. We offer courses from 2 of the worlds leading diver training organisations, SDI and PADI. Both of which offer excellent training.
SDI
SDI was founded 10 years ago with a modern approach to diving which includes using dive computers in its diver training. The emphasis is more on training in the water so you spend less of your holiday in the classroom. We are a registered SDI facility which means you can study your SDI theory and tests on-line before you come. For more details see the column on the right.
PADI
PADI was the first to offer recreational diving courses. Today it is renowned worldwide as a great diving qualification. The PADI courses have a greater emphasis on classroom work and an open diver course typically requires about 5 hours of studying. For more information about PADI courses see the PADI website.
SDI and PADI certificates are fully compatible with each other; both organisations recognise the others courses and you can mix and match both as you advance your diver training.
