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.

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!!

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

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?
