CELEBRATE OUR 2016 INDUSTRY LEGEND: PADI AT 50
“When the legend becomes fact, print the legend.” (“The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance”)
Today, celebrating its fiftieth anniversary, PADI is a legend in the dive industry. Here at Beneath
the Sea® it is our intention to honor the PADI organization and help this industry giant celebrate
this memorable anniversary. The legend begins in 1966 in Illinois over a bottle of Johnny Walker
scotch. John Cronin, U.S. Divers equipment salesman, and Ralph Erickson, educator and swimming instructor
were sitting discussing the state of the diving industry and perceived unprofessionalism in the then certification
industry. They decided it was time to start their own scuba training organization. Ralph wanted “Association of
Diving Instructors.” John insisted it be professional. After a few more sips of scotch the Professional Association
of Diving Instructors was agreed on, PADI was born, to become an Industry Legend fifty years later.
OUR 2016 DIVING PIONEER: CAPTAIN WAYNE HASSON
November 1984 and the first Cayman Aggressor steamed into Georgetown Harbor,
Cayman Islands. It was a moment that carried the realization of Captain Wayne Hasson’s dream: he had just pioneered the first luxury liveaboard concept. Today, Admiral
Hasson commands an entire fleet of franchise luxury dive yacht operations worldwide.
If you talk to Wayne, he will name many people who were a part of his life and who contributed to his success
creating and building the Aggressor Fleet. While you may understand the collaborative effort of a modern
world, also recognize it was the vision of one man that inspired that effort in the beginning, organized it, and
drove it forward inspiring acolytes along the way, many who found their home in that dream.
