    SSI->Padi Instructor

    PADI has no real "crossover" and there is no such thing as economical and PADI Honestly, I'd recommend against the crossover unless you have longer term goals that are PADI related. There is a real possibility that you won't make your money back in just one summer, in that case it's probably...
