Distinctive Specialties Why Distinctive Specialty Courses? Does your instructor offer something in addition to the regular PADI Specialties? In addition to the Standardized PADI Specialty programs (Wreck Diver, Deep Diver, etc.), PADI Distinctive Specialty programs are approved by PADI and taught by various PADI Instructors throughout the world. Programs that have been approved are numerous in number and range from Shark Awarenesss to Public Safety Diver. Where can I go from here? When you successfully complete a PADI Distinctive Specialty Diver program, you'll receive a certification card that denotes the appropriate PADI Specialty rating. Each Distinctive Specialty certification may be applied toward one of the five certifications required for the Master Scuba Diver rating.

Monte, Irene, Jessica, and Alec Our 10 year old son Alec, who loves movies, especially the Disney productions of Pirates of the Caribbean, was facinated when we showed him the hull of an old shipwreck at 35 feet, at the Eden Rock dive site. It had been uncovered due to the waves of Ivan. Irene pointed out a Cleaner Shrimp hiding in the wreckage to Alec, and later explained to him that it is now a cleaning station for fish. After that experience Alec determined that it was in fact an old pirate shipwreck, and who are we to correct a ten year old. Afterall they know more than the parents, right?
