PADI® (Professional Association of Diving Instructors®) has been on the Duikvaker for years as the world's largest diving instructor. It is an opportunity to get to know the organization and what we stand for. Our philosophy goes beyond training divers. PADI's mission is to train as many advocates as possible to explore and protect the ocean. Together we want to achieve a balance between people and the ocean.

At the stand you will find the PADI Team that takes care of the Dutch and Belgian members, as well as leading diving schools from home and abroad. Do you want to learn how to rebuild a coral reef? Do you want to explore the waters of Zeeland and are you looking for a place to stay overnight? Do you want to know everything or become a mermaid or diving instructor? Come to our stand and get to know us.

We present the Member Forum, the annual update, for members on Saturday and Sunday at 1 p.m. In addition, members can meet Fraser Bathgate, our expert in the field of diving with disabilities.

PADI operates in 186 countries and territories, with a global network of more than 6,600 dive centers and resorts and more than 128,000 professional members worldwide. In addition to issuing more than 1 million certifications each year, PADI empowers people around the world to seek adventure and save the ocean through underwater education, life-changing experiences and travel. For more than 50 years, PADI has maintained its high standards in diver training, safety and customer service, ensuring global consistency and quality.
