What is NAUI?

The National Association of Underwater Instructors (NAUI Worldwide) has been teaching the world to dive safely since 1959. As the largest non-profit and most respected dive training and certifying organization in the world, NAUI offers a full range of training programs from Skin Diver through Instructor Course Director, with dozens of specialty courses including Nitrox and Technical diving.

​

NAUI’s global reputation for the best in training and educational products reflects its core values of quality dive training through education. Many organizations specifically choose NAUI for their diver education programs including Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida, United States Navy SEAL Teams and NASA’s Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory in Houston, Texas (USA) where astronauts train for their space walks.

​

While NAUI has long been respected for having the highest training standards in the recreational diving industry, they are also highly regarded for their Technical Diver Training. Many of their technical developments have been adopted by other agencies; their Technical Diving Division continues to produce new theories and research that keep NAUI on the cutting edge of technical diving.
