Here an alternative for $55 e-Card scam It's almost unbelievable that you have to pay $55 as a certified diver just to have your certification card displayed in the app. In the past, you could still search for your certification in the online database and show it to the dive center whenever needed. Nowadays, only the dive centers themselves have access to that. PADI truly lives up to its acronym "Put Another Dollar In." Paying $55 just to have an e-Card displayed in the app is utterly outrageous. I definitely won't go along with that. Here's how you can bypass this nonsense: 1. Uninstall your PADI app. 2. Ask your dive center to look you up in the database and provide you with a screenshot of your certification. 3. Save this screenshot and use it for all your future dives.

What an appalling app and corresponding… What an appalling app and corresponding website. Nothing works, sends you around in circles, hugely frustrating and zero understanding of customer service or needs. Truly, how hard can it be to design a decent website that actually does what your customers want, which in my case is primarily to see my qualifications and see my ecards. Nightmare!!

Great Open Water instructor - Hurghada It was fun and great experience to learn diving with Karim Hassan (297715) in Hurghada with PADI office. We took our first Open Water course and it was an absolute pleasure. Karim is a great instructor, explaining everything in a friendly way with humor. Highly recommend.

Poor quality online learning. Did not receive all learning materials Poor quality online learning material. Equipment referred to in the learning material that should have been provided as part of the package was not supplied by PADI. I have contacted PADI on 3 separate occasions and have yet to receive a response. Very poor customer service, PADI has no platform for feedback so free to charge extortionate prices and deliver little. Hugely disappointing.

Received Padi Club membership offer in… Received Padi Club membership offer in the mail today, decided to look at reviews online before spending the $29.95 to sign up. Glad I did! So many recent reviews stating the site it pretty much useless. I'm confused, how could a powerful reputable organization like PADI let an important tool slip through the cracks?
