What's the difference between free diving systems?

Friends who like diving all know that free diving has three systems, so do you know the difference between these three systems? If you don't know, today Bian Xiao will briefly tell you the difference between these three systems!

SSI International Leisure Diving School SSI was established in 1970. They originated from a "diving equipment supplier". Simply put, it is a company that specializes in selling diving equipment. At that time, as the predecessor of SSI, selling diving equipment was only a one-time transaction. In order to continue to develop, the "SSI" established by the professional course R&D curriculum system can be said to be very rigorous and meticulous. Of course, most SSI free diving courses. At the same time, provide any information that students want to see, including: diving shops, diving spots, diving licenses, diving companion information, diving logs, global diving shop recruitment information (SSI has a mobile phone software).

At the same time, there are many systematic studies on the subsequent development of free divers, such as single-webbed expertise, underwater photography expertise, fishing and hunting expertise, sunken ship free diving expertise, variable weight diving expertise, shark free diving expertise and so on.

The most important point is that the diving instructor of SSI must teach in the form of diving teaching center. Don't underestimate this. Compared with other systems, this can give learners great protection. At present, many free diving instructors make a living by freelancing, that is to say, if the learners have problems in their studies, or if diving becomes problematic or dangerous afterwards, the instructors can completely disappear. The advantage of SSI is that they must be attached to the diving center.

Advantages of SSI free diving system:

Learning is very systematic and rigorous,

The additional information provided is very comprehensive,

There are many directions for future development.

Follow-up tracking is convenient, providing guarantee for both parties.

After passing the examination, the entity card certificate+electronic certificate (certificate with number, teaching diving center,) will be issued.

AIDA International Competitive Freediving Association Freediving is an extreme sport. When it comes to extreme sports, there will be competitions. AIDA International Competitive Free Diving Association has been like this since 1992. Therefore, the people of AIDA Free Diving Association are competitive divers, constantly breaking through the limits of human beings and challenging themselves. Founded by a group of free divers, the association is a public non-profit organization. You can find the world rankings, world events, diver qualifications and other information on official website.

As athletics diving Association, please remember that AIDA is different from SSI and PADI in terms of safety responsibility because it is essentially different from schools or teaching institutions.

Because it is competitive diving, the risk factor must be much larger than leisure diving, and AIDA is a public non-profit organization that mainly promotes the development of competitive free diving. From this perspective, it is true. As an athlete in athletics diving, you must know that you must take risks for your actions.

Key points:

At present, AIDA athletics diving is developing rapidly in China. As an AIDA coach, this is very good for the development of athletics diving, but! What I want to say! ! ! Nowadays, many people study free diving for leisure, not to challenge themselves and break through their limits. Many students and prospective students actually learn free diving just to take a beautiful photo and show off their bodies.

So it is not appropriate to recommend AIDA competitive free diving without thinking. I believe it doesn't meet what AIDA, as a athletics diving association, wants to see, and it can't mislead students for the purpose of making money from teaching! ! ! Schools with leisure diving system will explain the risks during students' study, and at least bear certain responsibilities if there is danger. )

In addition, AIDA free diving certificates are generally only electronic certificates because most of them cannot be mailed or lost by overseas direct mail.

Advantages of AIDA international competitive free diving association system;

Athletics diving Association competition has a strong sense of honor.

Provide professional competitive free diving skills.

After reaching a certain level, you can participate in the international athletics diving competition.

Breaking personal limits is challenging.

PADI Leisure Free Diving Development Center First of all, PADI leisure diving can be said to be the most widely distributed leisure diving system in the world at present, but in terms of free diving, due to the early development of leisure scuba diving, free diving is involved more and the development time is shorter than the other two systems, but with the help of PADI, there is a big market in the world and the development of free diving is also very extensive.

The simplest example: there are at least 5,000 diving teaching institutions of PADI in the world, so it is absolutely consistent and possible to participate in free diving in PADI diving shop with PADI free diving certificate, provided that the diving shop has free diving courses or itinerary arrangements (you can also participate with other two system certificates, but you need to show your valid certificates, and sometimes even pay some fees).

Advantages of PADI leisure free diving system:

PADI leisure diving covers the whole world with the widest coverage.

The safety risk of leisure diving is relatively small,

PADI has more free diving instructors.

Some examinations of leisure diving are relatively easy.

After passing the examination, the entity card certificate+electronic certificate (certificate with number, teaching diving center,) will be issued.

I believe everyone knows something after reading these, then everyone will know how to choose!
