While all agencies do a very competent job of training divers, some agencies stand out for taking a slightly different approach. NAUI, which has been a non-profit agency for most of its existence and which even today follows those standards, is one such agency.
With the highest standards for virtually all levels of recreational diver training, NAUI has always been associated with excellence in diver training.
And so it is with great pride that we announce that as of February 2009, DIVEIndia is now offering NAUI certification courses, all the way from basic Open Water (the NAUI Scuba Diver course) up to Instructor.
We are very excited about the added flexibility this gives us in meeting the needs of our customers. Whether you are a beginner who want the best entry level training, a certified divers who want to improve his/her diving skills or an experienced divers who want to master the theoretical and practical aspects of diving, we now have a program that will meet your needs.
Please contact us for more information on our NAUI courses!

To my friends at Dive India:
Congratulations on your new affiliation with NAUI. Having been a NAUI Instructor Trainer, and like Dive India, affiliated with other agencies, I know a bit about different programs. NAUI has weathered the ages to become one of world’s most venerable agencies. I know you and your students will be very pleased to expand your training opportunities to contain the NAUI course catalog.
Best of luck with your new program,

I am visiting and am registered for PADi, does all this actualy make a difference or is it just off shoots of one Dive agency.

The biggest factor is always the instructor – a good instructor will make you a good diver, regardless of the agency and a bad instructor will be a bad instructor regardless of what agency s/he teaches.
There are differences between the agencies for sure – but think of them as different roads to get to the same destination. Once you have around 20-odd dives, it doesn’t really matter how you got there anymore, although some roads might be marginally faster, marginally more scenic or whatever.
