WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SSI & PADI?

There is almost no difference in the actual training. The quality of the scuba diving course strongly depends on your dive instructor no matter what organization you should choose to certify with. In terms of dive training, there is very little difference between SSI and PADI. They both follow the diving standards set by WRSTC (World Recreational Scuba Training Council) meaning that knowledge and skill requirements are almost the same. Certifications at any level below Divemaster are interchangeable. The certification received from either organization is recognized and accepted worldwide. We are the #1 SSI Dive Center in the Philippines for 2 years in a row! With SSI (Entry Level Training Programs) you get free dive insurance with DiveAssure and can start 50% of the Open Water eLearning today for free by downloading the MySSI app. SSI is also less expensive than PADI. So in the end, no choice is wrong, it’s all about the Instructor!
