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!!

Literally no customer service if you have a bad experience We had an awful experience with a dive centre and reported to PADI QA process. PADI couldn’t have been any less interested. PADI could have at least refunded us for the e-learning that we had paid for in good faith even if they could not force the centre to issue our refund. Instead they have kept our money despite knowing that we couldn’t complete our course. I cannot understand the poor customer service and lack of support when dive centres do not meet basic standards. It really is a case that once they have your money they do not care.

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

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.

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
