PADI Recieves the Tauchen Award at the Dusseldorf Boat Show

For the eleventh time consecutively, PADI EUROPE were awarded with the prestigious TAUCHEN award. The reader’s choice award is given yearly in 17 different categories of the diving industry - from dive-centers through resorts to equipment categories - and diving education.

PADI is and has been the only winner for all the eleven first prizes since the creation of the award.

The award of the title “Best association for education in diving” by the German diving magazine “Tauchen” is one of the most traditional events during the exhibition “Boot” in Düsseldorf. This year PADI has won it for the eleventh time consecutively.

On Thursday of this year’s exhibition, the magazine “Tauchen” organized its traditional gala event and as with every year all key persons of the diving industry have assembled. Alexandra Jahr, editor of “Tauchen” and Carolyn Martin, editor-in-chief celebrated the presentation of the 17 winners. Being once more chosen as the winner in its category for 2008 was a proud achievement for PADI and its representatives: it is a renewed testimony to the quality of PADI’s educational programs and ongoing successful campaigns.

According to Jürg Beeli, Chairman of the board of PADI Europe, the award of “Best divers training organization“ represents a true recognition of the great job done by more than 30 000 active members of PADI Europe and in particular by the 1 100 PADI Dive Centers and Resorts: “It’s not enough to put on the market new and fascinating offers. It is necessary to have motivated partners at the front, who know how to offer these products and services in a frame of high customer satisfaction. This role is played by our Dive Centres and Resorts, to whom I am particularly thankful“
