PADI’s Mission Statement
Purpose
PADI exists to develop programs that encourage
and fulfill the public interest in recreational
scuba and snorkel diving worldwide.
Vision
PADI intends to be the world leader in the educational
development of scuba diving professionals and
enthusiasts.
Values
In all of our relationships, we will demonstrate
our steadfast commitment to:
Leadership
Being a world-class leader in every aspect of
our business, in the way we design and develop
our products, in the training of recreational
scuba divers, instructors and retail and resort
operators, in the support and service we provide
to our professional members (instructors, assistant
instructors, divemasters, retail facilities, resorts)
in diving safety and education, in aquatic environmental
education and preservation, in our management
performance in our global marketing of scuba diving
adventure and in developing our skills at every
level.
Integrity
We honor our commitments, take personal responsibility
for our actions and practice the highest ethical
standards, treating everyone fairly with trust
and respect.
Our People
We value the skills, strengths and perspectives
of our internationally diverse membership and
employee groups. Our team will foster a participatory
workplace that empowers our people to get involved
in decision making and develops leadership skills
at every level. We will continually encourage
cooperative efforts at every level in our company.
Quality
In all that we do, we pride ourselves in performing
it correctly and accurately the first time to
the highest standards of quality and efficiency.
We will strive for continuous quality improvement
in all that we do in order to be the world’s
premier recreational diving training and educational
company.
Customer Satisfaction and Retention
Keeping customers satisfied and earning the continued
loyalty of our members and divers is essential
to our success. We will achieve total customer
satisfaction by understanding what our customers
want and delivering it flawlessly.
The Environment
In all that we do, we will strive to achieve our
commitment to preserving the aquatic environment
for future growth.
Underwater Cultural Heritage
We are committed to the protection of underwater
cultural heritage for future generations of divers
and nondivers alike.
Core Competencies
Unsurpassed Customer Service and Knowledge
We recognize our strength and competitive advantage
is our people performing outstanding customer
service, and developing excellent programs and
products. We pride ourselves in listening to the
needs of our markets and exceeding their expectations.
International Program Integration
We continuously develop and advance the PADI System
of diver education into countries and territories
of the world with a consistent, standardized and
state-of-the-art approach while adapting to diverse
cultures, customs, protocols and languages on
a local level. Together, our world offices provide
the PADI membership with unsurpassed quality in
our educational materials, publications and support
services, in a uniform, reliable and consistent
manner.
Unparalleled Educational Validity
PADI’s courses have been independently evaluated
and recommended for college credit equivalency
by the American Council on Education (ACE). PADI
educational courses remain the only diver training
programs with this distinction. We are proud of
the ACE approval as an independent corroboration
of the educational validity of our courses. All
PADI credentialed divers are entitled to receive
this benefit. PADI courses have received similar
recognition from other educational institutions
internationally. Discriminating dive students
should ask why PADI has been the only training
organization with this distinction.
Unequaled Diversity in our Professional
Membership
With 90,000 professional members operating in
175 countries and territories, PADI Instructors
are the most ethnically, culturally and racially
diverse group of dive educators in the world.
This means that a potential dive consumer seeking
diver education has a much greater chance of finding
a PADI course offered in their country by a person
from their own culture and in their own language.
We are proud of our professional dive educators
and our internationally consistent, diverse and
culturally adapted training system.
