PADI will also be on Diver more often in 2023. Visit the stand, meet the regional team, get to know the diving schools present, network during the job fair and learn everything about the new PADI Mermaid program.

Job fair? Yes, for the first time PADI is organizing a networking afternoon for anyone who wants to teach diving or anyone who is already a dive professional and is looking for a place to teach. In addition, PADI course directors and dive schools are invited to meet candidates and existing instructors. You are most welcome at the stand on Sunday afternoon from 3:00 pm to 4:30 pm.

At the stand you will find leading Dutch and foreign diving schools. Scuba Elite is a new PADI diving school on Bonaire and is presenting itself to the general public for the first time. The Discovery Divers team is there with their metal detector specialty. You can even try it dry! There is also a PADI Mermaid center for the first time this year. Mermaid Instructor Trainer Ingrid van Gerven is happy to explain how you become a mermaid.

At the stand you will also find the regional team consisting of Territory Director Patrick Voorma, Regional Manager Margriet Schuur and Regional Training Consultant Jore de Jong. They look forward to meeting and talking to you.

Your PADI Team also hosts the PADI Member Forum on Saturday and Sunday at 1:00 PM. It is packed with the most up-to-date information on risk management, training, marketing, new learning programs and products. It is not only an interesting meeting, but you also get inspiration for your courses. Participation in the PADI Member Forum is free, but reserved for members and prospective members.

We hope to see as many divers and PADI members as possible on Duikvaker!
