Great debate!PADI courses (developed in the United States) are standardized and recognized worldwide. So you can easily start your OpenWater in Tenerife, continue your Advanced Open Water in Thailand then your Rescue in South Africa. Your qualifications will be recognized, even in the most remote places. PADI courses are convenient for traveling divers. By contrast, in France, they limit you a little more than CMAS-FFESSM courses.  CMAS represents various national federations, whose FFESSM in France. They are not recognized everywhere in the world (remote or American) but give you more opportunities in France. More autonomy, you are not required to be accompanied by a guide (diving is therefore less expensive), you can reach greater depths.  What in common? Easy … security.Each diver will find in either federations the technical background necessary to have fun safely.

Where to start?

Diving is something very personal, we all react in different ways the first time we put your head under water. It is important to start with a first dive, supervised by a professional, to understand this new environment, see if you like it, find your ease to breathe underwater and make sure you start your training to make you happy.Filled with motivation and excitement you begin your first level (Open Water diver with PADI and 1* with CMAS). This level will teach you to mount your equipment, to act as a responsible diver with respect to yourself, your partner and your environment, to understand the physical basis of rules governing diving and indulge yourself under water! After 3 days of training, the doors of the ocean are open to you, you will have the basics to make your own experience safely. The PADI Open Water makes you a scuba diver to 18m maximum, the diver level 1 * CMAS allows you to scale up to 20m being supervised.
