PADI centers providing really poor… PADI centers providing really poor experiences and despite PADI being the provider of this courses they refuse to openly take action and help customer. Don't go to PADI unless you want to get drowned! UPDATE Following the bad reviews here they have reply to me bellow as you can see inviting me to have a private conversation. During the conversation they didn't actually offer a solution or something better but instead they have just tried to divert the conversation from public into private so less people to be aware of. Don't do Padi but instead go any alternative!

Awful Web Site, Worse App and non-existent support Good grief! How bad can it be!? Very, apparently. Loggin into the very poorly designed, laid out and implemented web site took a number of attempts. Why so many large adverts? Once I am finally in, guess what, no certifications on record. But, doing a verification check yields all 3 of my certifications, scuba, open water and advanced open water. Trying to raise a support ticket took 3 attempts. Trying to create a Revalidate fails every time with a blank screen. Seriously!? For a global organisation that is supposed to be promoting safe, competent diving and global awareness, this is a massive FAIL! Next step is to switch my certifications to SSI

Hugely frustrating Hugely frustrating. I completed a very expensive course and did not receive a ‘card’ assuming it would simply be on my profile on the PADI site (which I have with my photo and certificate number). However they are trying to charge me for a replacement e-card at £42. They should already provide this e-card on your profile upon completion of their qualification. If I complete the course, I expect proof of the qualification as standard. Hugely disappointing here. A pure money maker and not much else. The one star given here is on the generous side

What era were the PADI elearning… What era were the PADI elearning modules made in? What an incredibly frustrating user experience - 1) the site is outdated and crashes every 2min 2) the videos play and then reload continuously. It already takes 12-15 hours to finish the modules but because the videos keep buffering/reloading its adding an extra 2-3 hrs to my work. Unclear why I paid extra $$$ for this piece of crap.

Worst website/app in existence Worst website/app in existence. Imported duplicates from my ScubaEarth account as well as 'forgot' some. Also shows duplicate certifications. Ended up having to delete everything then re-log all my dives (over 40+ dives) and even know the website shows the correct # of dives - the hours logged is wrong and it is missing all my dives from 2017 (although the # of dives shown is correct). The PADI app on Android seems okay. The slider bars, forcing you to select a site PLUS asking you to rate a dive site is inefficient and wastes time. No way to 'save' your dive buddy and no way to export dive logs (see Diviac for ideas)
