Scuba Diving International (SDI) is a SCUBA training and certification agency. It is the recreational arm of Technical Diving International, the world’s largest technical diver training organization.[1] SDI is the only diver training agency that requires students to have access to a modern dive computer on all dives during training from the very start.[2]

SDI is also unique amongst recreational diver training organisations in that it recognises solo diving as part of recreational diving, and offers a special training course relating to it.[3] Every other major recreational diver training organisation mandates diving with a "buddy" at all times.

SDI is a member of The World Recreational Scuba Training Council.[4]
