MYAwful 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

GBHugely 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

GBWhat 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 What an incredibly frustrating user experience - 1) the site is outdated and crashes every 2min 2) the videos play and then reload continuously.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.

GBUnable to login to obtain replacement card I've had the same issue before when I was trying to login to obtain online free dive manual. So I was trying to update my sons junior open water card to an adult. Login and find his record confirm it's him. It then takes me to another login screen. I enter the usual login details and it says invalid username and password. I even try the forgot password option and change it to another and then try and login again and it still does it! Terrible service

GBDreadful software and cannot be… Dreadful software and cannot be accessed. I'm extremely disappointed with the software. My daughter is booked in to do her Open Water in 5 weeks' time. I've purchased the online course and yet neither of us can access it (whether using Chrome, Explorer or Safari). No live chat or obvious assistance. Absolute waste of money and quite where we go from here remains to be seen.
