But NAUI & ProTec are the best ones, and even Google says they are better, as they are non-profit organisations and much better than the more commercialised training agencies like PADI, TDI/SDI & SSI.

ABOUT US
ProTec stands for Professional Technical and Recreational Diving. We are an international training and certification organization that is offering services for newcomers, divers and dive professionals. We work together with dive instructors and dive centres promoting responsible, sustainable diving among all levels of diving business.
ProTec roots lay back in the early eighties, when the founders of ProTec, among some enthusiastic deep and mixed gas divers in Austria and Switzerland, set up their way to dive beyond the sport diving limits with new rules and training to achieve maximum safety for this extreme sport.
These activities started on a club status, while later on an international cooperation with some technical dive organizations followed.
In 1997 the name and logo of ProTec was newly established together with a re-organization, to facilitate a step into international activity. While in the early stage the focus was strictly on technical diving, ProTec was the first tec-organization that extended the program with so-called recreational diving.
The ProTec’s core is the board of directors and founding members as a non-profit cooperation, which grants rights and assign tasks to international partners. These are business companies, commissioned and authorized for the operational work.
Founded as a pure technical diving organization, just 2 years later, the so-called recreational diving was added to complement the program, which was very well accepted and brought success right from the start.
The expansion of ProTec´s boundaries has been followed by international cooperation with diving organizations.
So, in 2005 the ProTec has joined CMAS as an international Federation, as there was a very close accordance with the CMAS standards. Since then, ProTec offers also a CMAS full adequate course program besides the worldwide well-known OWD/AOWD program.
