We’re thrilled to announce that Diviac and its team have joined the PADI family. As of today, Diviac is now PADI Travel. You can browse the new website at travel.padi.com.

We couldn’t hope for a better future for Diviac than joining PADI, the world’s leading scuba diver training organization.

The PADI® organization is committed to growing the scuba and freediving market, both by attracting new people to the sport and by motivating existing divers to dive more often. Travel has always been intrinsically linked to diving and is a fantastic medium to inspire divers. We are proud to now be PADI Travel and therefore contribute to the growth of the industry.

Dedicated to inspiring divers to stay active, explore more of the underwater world and take care of our oceans, PADI Travel is designed to energize and grow the overall diving community for the benefit of everyone in the dive industry. It offers more dive destinations and more dive holidays than any other travel company in the world, and it will continue to expand over the coming months with increased dive resort offerings.
