Cross Over

Q: I have done my Open Water Diver course with PADI, can I do my Advanced Course with SSI or the other way around? [2]

A: Yes, you can cross between PADI and SSI as much as you like for the recreational dive levels. Their levels are quite similar and certification of another dive organization is totally accepted. As noted all standards are set forth by the RSTC (Recreational Scuba Training Council).
