Wouldn't it be great to be a PADI Professional? Imagine the confidence you'll have as one of the most sought-after dive professionals on the planet ... the fun of teaching others to explore the aquatic realm … the prestige of wearing that cool PADI Professional emblem! Plus, you'll have a career that lets you live the dive life every day.

Here's your opportunity to do all that and maybe win $10,000 too*. Enter the 2008 PADI Go PRO Challenge Testimonial Contest.  Just get a PADI Professional rating (Divemaster or above) and send in a video or captioned photo about "Why I became a PADI Pro" before 1 September, 2008.  You don't need to submit a sophisticated video - the person who sends in the most heartfelt tribute to life as a PADI Professional will win the $10,000 US! Current PADI Professionals can also participate.

Contact your local PADI Dive Center or Resort to find out more, or visit the Teach Diving Section at padi.com and get ready to Go PRO!
