The biggest diver training agency in
the world is the American giant "PADI",
Professional Association of
Diving Instructors. They
have recently been bought and sold a few times over the
past few years and the agency and their professionals
are considered as market leaders.

Are there many other agencies?
YES! There are, many other training agencies around the World, in fact hundreds of them, and new ones coming up all the time but the main players remain. Anyone looking to learn to dive or divers looking to advance thier certifications or to become professionals, should look at the training agency very carefully and consider all of the options.
We at ITDA Group work harder to provide you with the best, safest and most fun training because we understand that YOU have a choice! And we want YOU to choose us! ITDA as YOUR First Choice!
NOT all training agencies are the same, there are many differences in standards as applied to training and certification and many differences in training philosophy and delivery. Also we offer high quality materials, with flexible options and lower costs and on-going costs, etc.
Benefits to Students, Divers, Centres / and Training Facilities
Divers
and Students looking for an International Certificaion
in diving, should carefully look at the instructor and
the training facility... And look at the way they
present the training to you, you should be happy and
comfortable with your decision before paying any money
over... We offer many flexible options for the
theory study with; Instructor Led classes, Self-Study,
On-line and distance learning...
Ask about the theory, instructor led classes or online options, plus time to complete training, ask also about the number of dives in the course and the process required to be certified... Also cover all costs as some agencies charge extra for many benefits we include...
Look at the safety record and make sure the Instructor has insurance as required and is offering insurance to YOU! ITDA highly recommends DAN Divers Alert Network (DAN EU, DAN Asia and DAN USA) for Insurance. See www.diversalertnetwork.org
Dive centres can gain a great deal
with our multi-agency programs, as we offer exclusive
agreements to limit other ITDA Group
competition but do
NOT ask you to be exclusively ITDA... We know and accept
that your customers should have a choice, the choice is
great for business it stops the big agencies from a
monopoly business and price increases etc. With so
much choice for the student diver, having this amazing choice
keeps everyone honest!
The ITDA Difference...
We offer more actual training dives, i.e. Experience
and also more dive theory, plus combined programs with
materials and certifications as one low cost/price, but
at very high quality, saving
our students money... ITDA professionals are highly

programs than other agencies with our Instructor course
