PADI Gear’s Vintage Collection: 1966

Two passionate divers created the Professional Association of Diving Instructors over a bottle of Johnnie Walker to revolutionize and professionalize the diving industry. John Cronin and Ralph Erickson’s vision was to form an organization that would give more people a chance to enjoy the underwater world by offering relevant, instructionally valid dive training and create confident scuba divers who dove regularly.
