    Any PADI dive centre shall let you dive. Both CMAS and PADI obey to the training standards set by ISO and WRSTC, so all certifications by the 2 organizatons are interchangiable. I live and work in Thailand as a PADI instructor, and no PADI centre that I
    know would refuse your certification. If you should find one that does that, you can even write a complaint letter to PADI indicating which dive centre did that, because they are not authorized to do it.

    Good answer, but the question was posted a bit over 15 years ago.
