12 Mission Statement for the International Diving Institute's commercial diving school.

MISSION STATEMENT FOR IDI's COMMERCIAL DIVING SCHOOL

The International Diving Institute's mission is to provide and prepare the graduates of IDI for a career in the commercial diving industry as entry-level divers/tenders who excel in knowledge, skills and safety. The Institute strives to accomplish this mission by setting comprehensive criteria and high standards for quality learning that meet the diving industry expectations.

The faculty consists of experienced personnel from the diving industry inland and offshore; The North Sea; Asia and the Gulf of Mexico.

The Institute is aware of its responsibilities to provide the highest standards of safety, and the Institute has chosen to have a close relationship with the diving industry, in the best interest of the students to update all the safety guidelines.

ADC International's logo International Diving Institute (IDI) is a member of Association of Diving Contractors International (ADC) and trains to the Standards published by the Association of Commercial Diving Educators (ACDE), the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), the National Association of SCUBA Educators (NASE), and the Sea Research Society (SRS). Each IDI elective course (advanced program or certification) that a diver takes increases the diver's overall effectiveness and thus his worth to his employer and should result in higher pay. Each elective should not only be thought of as an investment in a diver's financial future, but also an investment in the diver's personal safety and enjoyment of his work in the field of commercial diving. Whether you dive in the deep sea or in hazardous waste, the respect you get is real.
