NAUI CONSUMER PROTECTION PROGRAM
NAUI is committed to providing the highest quality diver training on the planet. As part of this commitment we employ varying methodologies in order to ensure NAUI standards are met whenever instruction is conducted. As part of this commitment, we actively monitor and publish relevant quality assurance inquiry determinations along with a current roster of individuals that are NAUI affiliated but are currently unable to conduct NAUI sanctioned courses or issue NAUI certifications. The individual/s may be under sanction, suspension or in some cases may have been subjected to expulsion from our organization.
NAUI Members are defined as NAUI certified Assistant Instructors, Divemasters, Instructors as well as Skin Diving and Freediving Instructors.
If you have any Training related ethics or quality assurance related questions, would like to lodge a concern, complaint, offer suggestions on improving our training programs or to extend Kudos to a NAUI Member/s, please mail, fax or email a signed letter with any supporting documentation (if needed) to:
