Looking for PADI Certification in Kobe, Japan

[Zeyd]

Dear All;

I am in Japan for two months, and I am looking for a scuba-diving center, in which I can be certified (PADI). i got already my 2* CMAS certification and 38 diving explorations.

I would be grateful if any one could suggest one for me.

Thank you in advance.

If you speak Japanese there are a number of shops around - if you need the course in English that will be a bit more difficult. But if you have the CMAS already why do you want the PADI cert?? Or are you looking for higher level certifications?

Unfortunately, I don't speak Japanese. You are right I want higher level certification and I prefer PADI.
Thank you for your help.

I teach PADI classes in Kobe, Osaka and Wakayama. What PADI classes do you want to take? I think I'm teaching a dry suit class next month at the Shirasaki park in Wakayama.

I got my first star CMAS in 2011, I attended Second star Courses in the same year, but I didn't pass an official examination since it is only possible in specific dates. I was diving almost every week as exploration diving (Almost 38) and my deepest was 39 meters as 2nd star candidate.

I would like if you could suggest to me which class is better for me (Rescue Diver or Dive Master), I would let you know also that I didn't dive for long time (almost 3 years)
Could you please provide me necessary information regarding the courses: 1. How much does it cost? 2. How long does it take? 3. what are the requirements to attend? and the most important thing is when ?

Thank you in advance.
