    I want to add a few points regarding the comparison of PADI and SSI. 1. In PADI the Open Water Diver Course and Advance Open Water Diver Course are structured in a very unaltered way, such that for example it has to be completed in the 4 days of Open Water Diver Course whether you are familiar with the equipment and procedure or not. But in SSI the courses are very flexible and if the student is not comfortable on the first day the course can be extended ( if the student has sufficient time in hand) for 1 or more days, the aim here is to make the student comfortable and confident while undergoing the courses. That is the reason, people are switching/ Crossing over from PADI to SSI. 2. The course materials in SSI are Digital so overall course price comes cheaper than PADI which provides hardcover notes, it is mandatory to buy the notes.

    • @whereishemanshi
      @whereishemanshi Před 3 hodinami

      Hey, PADI notes are not hard cover it is very much digital. I have done it and all the material was digital. Also I checked the course fee for SSI in many dive centers. I personally called them and asked. It was more or less the same as PADI. Few places it was cheaper but most of the popular dive centers had the same rate as PADI.

    • @whereishemanshi
      @whereishemanshi Před 6 dny

      Hahaha I just love this comment. Video toh main bana deti but there is no solution 🤣. The seats literally get filled in 1-2 mins from the time they open the booking. The only thing you can do is keep a constant update of when exactly they will open the booking. They update it on their website 2-3 weeks prior. but apart from that you can call to double check. Keep all your documents ready and do a dummy filling of the form beforehand, so you know you have everything you need. In terms of compressing your documents in the right format etc. so that as soon as it opens you just fill it asap and then rest depends on luck! 🙏🏼🤲🤞🏻

    Are there any Government institutes for learning Scuba diving, like IISM for Skiing?

    • @whereishemanshi
      @whereishemanshi Před 6 dny

      As far as I know NIMAS is the only govt affiliated institute that has a Scuba Diving Course. Some of their courses have been conducted in the Dawki River. But fee wise it’s not really saving you any money and also to acquire a PADI certification you need to pay over and above the course fee which means you actually end up spending more. Also, to be honest Scuba is done worldwide in seas and oceans as we are meant to feel that feeling of being in the big blue. I don’t know what it’s like to dive in the dawki river i am sure it’s beautiful in its own way but a little rare. Apart from this MTDC in Maharashtra has a course too as per the internet but Maharashtra is not really the best diving location in India. In my opinion, for scuba diving, give priority to the location because if you enjoy what you see on your dive, you will enjoy the sport and get attached to it. But if you compromise on the location, you may judge the whole activity based on the experience in that location.
