Which Scuba Agency Is Right for Me?

There’s no one-size-fits-all scuba agency. Whether you're aiming to dive on vacation once a year or train toward technical or cave diving, the best certification path depends on your personal goals, values, and learning style. This 6-question quiz cuts through the marketing and gets straight to what matters. Your answers will help match you with the agency or agencies that align best with the kind of diver you plan to be in the next few years. We include five major training agencies in our results: PADI, SSI, SDI, NAUI, and GUE. There’s no sponsored content or affiliate incentive here. Just honest, experience-based matching.

Don’t overthink it. There are no wrong answers. Just preferences that help guide your path.

How This Quiz Works

You will answer six multiple choice questions, each mapped to agency attributes such as course structure, learning format, and long term goals. As you respond, the quiz updates a running score for each agency. At the end, you will see your top matches, plus concise notes that explain why each agency may or may not fit your plans. Use the list to start a local instructor search, ask better questions before you book, and choose a path that fits your priorities today while leaving room to change direction later.
