So, I'd like to get started on a recreational scuba diving program to prepare for going down to the islands next year. But when I search around online, I see that there's all these sanctioning organizations that have different requirements.

Can anyone learn me "Scuba Certification for Dummies"? Like, what's the difference between all these groups as far as requirements? Once you're certified, are the certs then recognized as standards wherever you go? How about future renewals?

:pepper: <- i just like that smilie.

The two biggest are Naui And Padi. Both are internationaly recognized. I am Padi certified and have never run into problems. I dive all over the world.
