It means to say that, u already took ur diving course right? Then why don’t u share with us the reason choosing PADI instead of others. Is it with PADI we can go worldwide or something else? Please share ur idea with us if u don’t mind.

@ Rinn:

There are 3 major scuba diving certification bodies around the world; PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructor), SSI (Scuba School International) & NAUI (National Association of Underwater Instructor). But the most famous one here in Malaysia is PADI. SSI is also a good certification bodies, and their pricing is actually cheaper than PADI. You may want to look around for SSI course.
To tell you frankly, I found that SSI OW course are actually 40% cheaper than PADI. However, I have a very good reason why I opt to pay more to get a PADI certificate.
Good Luck!
