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.

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!!

Dear Padi company / team that are… Dear Padi company / team that are responsible for making their website and app, Do better. Provide a more intuitive experience when using your products. Ask your users how they would like to use your tools. Create user flow diagrams to understand the user stories of your customers. Most of all don’t hire a cheap terrible company or person to make your products as it really effects your organization’s image.

Granadilla Diving Tenerife wow what an… Granadilla Diving Tenerife wow what an instructor Zeke is. I'm 55 getting on a bit haha. I started from a novice now I'm a AOW with navigation, peak buoyancy, deep dive, DPV and drysuit specialities. He's helped me through all of them specially the drysuit which I struggled hard to do and I wanted to give up on but Zekes patience and tuition got me through it.

An accident waiting to happen... I am disappointed to have not received a response from my email to PADI below which was sent a month ago. As others have said they are just another company happy to take your money. They should be doing regular checks on schools and their standards. Smoking around Nitrox tanks whilst people are checking the contents seems like an accident waiting to happen - it is a shame that their response is likely to come when it is all too late. To Whom it may concern, My partner and I just got back from a holiday in Sharm El Sheikh. We spent much of our holiday diving, which was absolutely brilliant. I was however rather shocked, surprised and disappointed to see that each PADI centre we encountered (of which there were many in Sharm) was teaching students and encouraging divers on the trips to clean their masks with fairy liquid. Fairy liquid is known to be harmful to aquatic organisms and for causing long term adverse affects in the aquatic environment. Most fish will die when detergent concentrations approach 15 parts per million. Detergent concentrations as low as 5ppm will kill fish eggs and they decrease the breeding ability or aquatic organisms too. With the Red Sea attracting thousands of divers a year and hundreds of dive trips taking place here on a daily basis, it is crucial this is brought to your attention, particularly when there are many other options for clearing ones mask - it should be an easy fix. I think much of the problem is a lack of knowledge and this is where I feel PADI is well positioned to make a positive impact. One boat had a huge four gallon bottle filled with fairy liquid mixed with water sloshing around on the deck spilling into the water right over the top of what is described to be "one of the seven wonders of the underwater world" This is atrocious! This should be absolutely banned from being used in every dive centre or they should be faced with losing their PADI accreditation. PADI has got a good reputation and should be willing to discredit any centre that is found to be using the stuff. Divers should be informed of this too. I am sure they would not want to be harming the environment they are enjoy so much. I know there has been a push for 'dive for debris' which I think is fabulous. I would love to see the same push for sharing the knowledge of the damage fairy liquid does to our beautiful marine life and their environment
