Why NAUI?
There are some important differences between "Brand
X" and NAUI. NAUI's purpose is to enable people to enjoy
underwater activities as safely as possible by providing the
highest quality practical education, and to actively promote the
preservation and protection of the world's underwater
environments. The quality of training provided by NAUI Instructors
is of great importance to the Association, so NAUI employs various
methods of evaluation to ensure that NAUI standards are met when
NAUI instruction is conducted. As a pioneer in diving education,
NAUI has developed many of the programs and concepts accepted
throughout the diving industry, NAUI constantly strives to
increase the safety of diving by upgrading the Association's
standards and programs.
We believe that NAUI Instructors are qualified professional
educators who are granted academic freedom to teach diving in any
reasonable manner as long as NAUI standards and policies are met.
These excerpts from the "NAUI Credo" demonstrate
NAUI's motto: "The Quality Difference".
