Disabled Divers International (DDI) is a non-profit organization, with the aim to promote, develop and
conduct disabled scuba diving training programs for professional and non-professional students. The DDI
program adds a new layer on top of the existing diver training, allowing individuals who have
difficulties fulfilling all requirements and standards to experience diving safely with modifications and
enhancements to their training and or equipment.
DDI professional training adds to the diving professional a new set of tools and knowledge to train
disabled divers safely and certify their students as a scuba diver, with varied levels of limitations
depending on the student’s ability to perform program requirements and standards.
