Become a PADI PRO

Becoming a professional diver is one of the most exciting choices you can make in your personal life. You need the proper training and support to grow as a professional and as a person.

Coral Grand Divers offers the unique opportunity to become a highly qualified professional diver. Our top-level PADI instructor Jean-Michel Pelissier can teach the highest level of PADI ranking. From the Divemaster qualification, the Open Water Scuba Instructor, to the Master Scuba Diver Trainers certification, including numerous PADI specialties.

Our diving school is the ideal place for learning, with a dedicated diving classroom and pool to learn the theory and practice in a safe environment.

The Divemaster (or "DM") qualification is the first step of the Pro ladder. To become a Divemaster, you need to take the PADI Divemaster course and have passed a few other milestones: you need 40 logged dives before you can start the course, and qualify, you need to have at least 60. Once qualified as a Divemaster, you can guide certified divers on "fun dives" and help instructors train new divers.

To become an Open Water Scuba Instructor (or "OWSI"), you must have the Divemaster qualification and have completed at least 100 dives. Instructor qualification involves completing the Instructor Development Course (IDC) and passing the Instructor Examination (IE). Coral Grand Divers is one of the few diving schools offering an IDC preparatory course.

Most instructors become Master Scuba Diver Trainers, or "MSDT." There is no course or exam for this, but you must complete several steps before qualifying. You will need to have certified at least 25 PADI divers and the ability to teach five specialties, so you will need to pass the requirements of five PADI Specialty Instructor courses. An MSDT internship is an ideal way to do this and gain experience while teaching enough students to earn this level of certification.

As divers look to the Divemaster, instructor candidates respect IDC Staff Instructors. As the name suggests, these assist with Instructor training and share their wisdom and experience with new PADI Leaders. The IDC Staff Instructor course gives you in-depth knowledge of the instructor training process and prepares you to shape the new generation of PADI professionals. It's also a great career choice.

Check out our PADI Go Pro packages to become a PADI pro from zero to heros!

Diving gears are essential to scuba divers. The scuba mask is the first diving gear most diver starts with. It might be frustrating not to enjoy a dive fully because the diving mask is not adapted to his face. So you better have your own. You can use your diving mask for snorkeling, freediving, and scuba diving. A snorkel helps you breathe while swimming at the water's surface. Diving fins are essential to moving underwater quickly. Open-heel fins are heavier and suit most diving types. Full-foot fins, usually lighter, will be better in non or light-current waters.

A wetsuit isolates you underwater from external irritating marine life and keeps you warm. Scuba tanks or scuba diving cylinders contain highly pressurized air delivered to you through the diving regulator. The diving regulator is designed to provide the proper air quantity depending on the depth. Buoyancy compensator devices (or "BCD") help you to carry the diving tank(s). Once underwater, the BCD enables you to stabilize your position. A Diving Computer is a complex watch designed to provide all the information the scuba diver needs. It keeps the diver safe by monitoring the dive depth and time.

Moreover, the diving computer alerts the diver when he reaches a limit. An underwater camera is a real plus to keep memorable memories of your dives. Especially in Thailand's turquoise seas, you can immortalize the prolific marine life.
