SDI Diving Courses

The SDI philosophy is to bring recreational diving to a higher level by incorporating new diving technologies. SDI is also the only organization that requires the use of a modern diving computer during the training from the very beginning. The curriculum for SDI programs is designed to take participants from beginner to instructor level. Divers who have progressed through the SDI recreational program are then prepared to advance in technical diving programs.
