PSAI
Home

Founded in 1960 by Hal Watts, PSA is on of the oldest agencies in the dive industry, and certainly the oldest technical diving agency. Hal Watts and PSA's fame grew when Hal broke the very controversial world record of deep diving on air.

Recently, PSA has made some major organisational changes. Due to unsolvable issues within another Technical agency, most of the top names within that agency has left and crossed over to PSA, resulting in a fast growth that has raised PSA to the the same level as IANTD, TDI and other major technical agency's.One of the changes was that PSA became a worldwide organisation and was renamed PSA International or PSAI.

PSAI has a strong commitment to quality education, through proper dive training, stress management and academics. PSAI offers a full range of diver training including Tec Diving, Rebreathers and Overhead Environments.
