SDI courses

SDI - Scuba Diving International is the sister association of TDI certifying association and its activities are aimed at teaching students to dive within the recreational limits of difficulty, depth and equipment used. The progressive learning methods used in TDI are also used in SDI.
Thus, SDI believes that the use of personal dive computers by divers is mandatory, both during training and beyond, because the ability to use this device makes diving much safer and divers more responsible.
Another revolutionary step taken by SDI was the development of an e-learning platform, which allowed students to study the theoretical part of a whole line of courses online. The advanced SDI training system allows divers to build their knowledge and skills from simple to complex, which helps to stimulate interest in more difficult types of diving.
