First Aid



SDI was created with the philosophy that past practices should be continuously re-evaluated in the light of new technology and that sport scuba instruction should reflect the actual needs of open water divers. Diving is constantly changing. SDI staff are always looking forward and striving to be the innovator in scuba diving education.

TDI is the largest technical certification agency in the world. As one of the first agencies to provide training in mixed gas diving and rebreathers, TDI is seen as an innovator of new diving techniques and programs which previously were not available to the general public. TDI’s professionals are held to the highest standard to ensure quality training throughout the world. This means that as a diver taking a TDI course, your instructor will have documented his experience and knowledge prior to achieving that rating. As an instructor candidate taking a TDI course, your TDI instructor trainer will have gone through the paces to achieve the highest level of training that TDI offers.

SDI and TDI are committed to offering the highest quality training supported by the latest materials with the most up to date information and techniques. The materials are written by authors that acutely conduct the type of diving they are writing about. Those same materials are update as technology and equipment change.
