When John Cronin and Ralph Erickson founded PADI in 1966, their vision was clear: scuba diving should be more accessible, more safe, and more fun. They believed diving wasn’t just about descending into the ocean — it was about opening a doorway to another world.
PADI Club was created to take that vision further. Not just a certification, not just a hobby — but a community where divers could stay connected long after their first course. A place where the thrill of exploration became something shared, passed from diver to diver, reef to reef, ocean to ocean.
Today, PADI Club stands as a global gathering of ocean lovers, proof that a visionary idea can become a movement. At its heart, it carries the same belief that launched PADI itself: the dive is better when it’s shared.
