Where can you get a PADI certification?

Answer 1

You can get a PADI certification at any PADI dive shop. The best thing to do is to contact a dive shop in your area and ask about their Scuba certifications. If they do not offer PADI certification, they will likely know who in your area does. To find a local PADI dive center, just go to PADI.com and click on Start Diving, which will take you to the shop locater.

Answer 2

PADI certify its divers by having them to attend school. They have to go through a training course by being a open water diver. The National Academy of Scuba educators is a good school to go to.

Answer 3

You first need to complete your certification to dive, then you'll begin courses to become a divemaster. http://www.padi.com/scuba/padi-courses/professional-courses/view-all-professional-courses/divemaster/default.aspx
