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.

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

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!

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.

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!!
