Agency Equivalences
Both students and instructors have embraced the no nonsense approach that the SDI training system offers. With streamlined course materials that enable students to study the essential academics with an emphasis on practical diving skills learned in both the pool and open water environments. SDI is the only scuba training and certification agency to require students to be taught with modern dive computers from the onset of training.
Southern Divers are proud to be part of the SDI family and firmly stand behind their commitment to safety and quality diver training.

You have maybe looked at the other agencies out there, but here is a comparison of the SDI offering vs. two other the other agencies.
How Else Can We Help You?
Short of time? Then we are here to help! Many dive centers spread their open water courses across an entire month, working just a few hours on one set evening each week. Whilst this may suit you, we are also able to offer fast track options. We do this by reducing the student count to as low as one on one and condesing the time frame by running courses over consecutive days - An example of this would be our three/four day open water diver course.
