In 1969, the Professional Diving Instructors College , or PDIC, was formed and was the first SCUBA instructor’s college in the U.S. PDIC was a founding member of the Recreational Scuba Training Council (RSTC) PDIC expanded to over 35 countries worldwide and was purchased by the Brawley family in the early 1980’s and changed the name to the Professional Diving Instructors Corp. In 2011 it was sold to Scuba Educators International (SEI) and continues as one company ever since.
