Why should I do a PADI Course?

• PADI Courses have the highest standards including:
• Excellent quality training materials in most languages
• Safety standards that comply with even the most stringent national laws
• Professional instructors who are required to keep up to date, stay medically fit to teach and be insured
• Dive Centres and Resorts that provide the backup services we all need such as air fills, equipment sales, rental and servicing, boat dives, trips and holidays and many other extras.

Does that mean I can only dive with another PADI diver?

Not at all. You can dive with any other qualified diver - just remember to only dive to the level of the lowest person's qualification or experience. Although we choose to teach PADI we have divers with qualifications from many other agencies in our dive club, everyone is welcome. If you already have a qualification from another training agency you can join a PADI course next time providing you meet the pre-requisites.

Project Aware (Aquatic World Awareness Responsibility and Education)

 Is an environmental charity sponsored by PADI and divers. They sponsor grass roots projects such as ridding dive sites of plastic bags, funding litter bins near dive sites, mooring buoy projects and educating people on ways divers can avoid damaging the underwater environment. It is one of those rare charities that spends very little on overheads and manages to use over 85% of donations for the actual cause! The Eau Zone has just become a Project Aware Dive Centre and are already turning our dive centre as green as we can as well as organising events to monitor dive sites, clean up where necessary as well as raise money for Project Aware.

Emergency First Response is the First Aid training arm of the PADI family.

EFR training is the best in the business and is available to anyone whether they dive or not. None of us want to feel helpless when a medical emergency arises. Becoming an Emergency First Responder means you will know what to do and how to help. Want to pass your skills on to others? You can become an EFR Instructor - you don't have to be an expert just keen to learn a little more, keep your skills up to date and be enthusiastic about helping others!
