Dear frends! I want to turn to you with a request. I am a padi and ssi instructor. I'm going to work in France on Reunion Island. But you know the French system - I need a French diploma. Maybe you canl help or suggest what options there are? For example, do a cross into Egyptian cmas and then on the spot into French Cmas? Do u now best French diving board). Thank u
 
Sorry mate, but to work as a professional sport instructor in France (diving, riding, whatever..), you've got to get a French university diploma (DEJEPS). It's a long process and cross overs do exist, but are not so common.

Getting a CMAS or FFESSM certification will allow you to dive without limitations according to the local regulations, but not to work. With a CMAS or FFESSM instructor certification, you'll be able to teach diving, but only in a non profit association, not as a professionnal, for that you need the DEJEPS.
