<p>In a similar manner to this question: <a href="https://outdoors.stackexchange.com/q/5077/3313">When describing my PADI qualifications with a CMAS diver, is there a well know equivalence table?</a> <strong>How do the PADI qualifications match up to the SSI ones? Is there an equivalence table for these two as well?</strong></p> <p>My friend is PADI Advanced Open Water (AOW), however there seems to be a SSI qualification between PADI AOW and SSI AOW. Ideally this will be for when we get to the point of booking diving holidays we want to make sure everyone can do everything planned.</p> <p>The SSI qualifications (excluding free-diving and snorkelling) are:</p> <ul> <li>Scuba Diver</li> <li>Open Water Scuba Diver</li> <li>Specialist Diver</li> <li>Advanced Open Water Diver</li> <li>Master Diver</li> </ul>
