Very negative experience i had completed a 2 day course with a company called scuba evolution in goa india which i enjoyed. They seem to use padi applications/links/course materials. I paid around 32000 rupees for the next follow up open water diver course and only recieved a refund of 23,000 rupees because the padi materials were not refundable. I did not complete the course with scuba evolution because of the app / materials not working. I was only able to access the padi course materials via google drive link about 3-4 times before the videos and modules disappeared the course materials were never updated to my padi app. I am out of pocket having to pay for course materials i have not even seen. The enjoyment of my holidays is ruined because i didn't get to complete the 2nd follow up padi padi course (india was a 10 hour flight for me) Really really disappointed as due to the hopelessness of padi links/apps i was not confident about completing the course with scuba evolution

54€ für eine eCard? Ernsthaft? Das dachte ich mir gerade, als ich, wie bei SSI (hier kostenlos) meine AOWD Brevet als Karte digital hinterlegen wollte. Reine Abzocke. Zum Glück ist das mein einziges und somit auch letztes Brevet bei PADI.

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

The worst web and app and customer service ever. Don't go with PADI if you have a choice. I took my Open Water certificate with PADI but since their systems were down at the time, my records didn't show up after I finished the course. I reached out to the customer service to get my certificate before diving on Galapagos, which resulted in an endless mail conversation and technical explanations about the system and what I as a client need to do to get my cert. I did everything they told, the diving school was slow in answering, and still nothing was working. PADI could see my results in the backend of the system but they still couldn't fix me the cert. Now it has been 3 weeks since the course and no certificate, really hope they don't ruin my diving vacay in Galapagos next week! Tip to PADI: rebuild your web and mobile applications with modern technologies. Many computer engineers can do wonders. Also, never make it the client's fault if your systems are down / something isn't working as it should. I paid 400 dollars to get certified, not to end up being bounced back and forth between the HQ and the dive school. I don't care whose responsibility it is to solve the issue, just solve it. Thanks.

PADI are going massively downhill. People in dive shops are saying it and other divers are saying it. Thank god SSI are on the rise. Its simple to switch my qualifications across. PADI stitch you up with hidden costs and it's getting worse. They even charge over £50 for the licence/card for those that prefer something in the wallet. Totally done with PADI now. Bunch of crooks

Ordered from the UK PADI gear shop. Quality of items are poor, not as described and look nothing like the website photos. Trying to return items to them has been a complete nightmare! Zero customer service. It says you can’t return items without a returns authorisation form so I’ve been chasing them for 10 days with no response! They today have finally responded, called me the wrong name and still haven’t sent a returns label. I’ve raised this as a PayPal dispute as my last hope to get my money back. Appalling company, definitely won’t be doing any more PADI courses!

What didn't go wrong! Login never works and every time says that my email address does not exist if I use autofill. The site is not optimized for a phone so tests and questions must be taken on some other platform as they cannot be completed on a phone. Questions are ambiguous, confusing, and in many cases just outright stupid. Who cares what the name of entry is off of an unstable platform.....The answer is the safest entry method; no need to name it. I am sure that PADI does not care at all about their website. Members must go through their site to get their certification, members have no choice and must use the site no matter how bad it is so PADI has no incentive to make it better. It appears to me that PADI does not care about making the experience less painful as they don't have to.

Mache gerade meinen OWD Kurs. Leider kann ich plötzlich den Kurs nicht mehr aufrufen. Fehler: Es gab ein Problem bei deinen Kurs-Zugangscodes. Versuche es bitte erneut. Eigentlich wollte ich dieses Wochenende fertig werden....
