🎉 It's PADI’s 60th Anniversary: Celebrating Six Decades of Making Diving Possible for Everyone!

When PADI was founded back in 1966, scuba diving was considered an extreme sport, and scuba classes were physically grueling. Some instructors required students to do push-ups while wearing their scuba gear. Others placed a tank in each corner of the pool and made students swim from one to another and take hits of air directly from the tank valve.

However, two friends, John Cronin and Ralph Erickson, set out to make scuba diving more accessible. They founded a new training organization based on professionalism and a commitment to safety rather than feats of strength and stamina. Sixty years later, in 2026, PADI celebrates its 60th anniversary.

We are so thankful to be a part of the PADI organization and truly appreciate what is has done for the scuba diving world! 👏
