Boot 2024

Boot 2024 is a PADI-focused gathering in Duisburg, Germany, built for dive centres looking to sharpen the way they run their business. This is a professional event for PADI Dive Centres, where workshops help shops get set up or optimised for the PADI Dive Store Locator and walk operators through creating and managing their courses, dive and snorkelling trips, and conservation and social activities.

Courses and services on offer

The programme spans an unusually broad slice of the PADI world. Expect coverage of PADI Scuba Diving and PADI TecRec, Rebreather and CCR diving, PADI Freediving, PADI Mermaid, and PADI Snorkelling. There's also room for Conservation, PADI First Aid – EFR, PADI Public Safety Diver, Adaptive Diving, and the PADI Purpose Built Facility standard, alongside Travel.

Everything runs in an onsite classroom, with sessions delivered in English. It suits dive centre owners and staff who want practical, hands-on guidance rather than theory alone — a focused stop for professionals shaping how their shop teaches, travels, and gives back.
