Do you want to take a diving course, but you don’t even know where to start? Or you already have one and you want to, never better said, go deeper? If you have just landed in the diving world you should know that there are two big organizations, PADI and SSI; and each one certifies its own diving courses, both for amateurs and professionals. In Native Diving we are part of both, so we offer you a wide variety of courses. You can consult them in detail here (SSI) and here (PADI). And to make it easier for you to find yours, below we present them by levels of difficulty.
