The prices have gone up on getting a certification card replacement since the last time I checked but I appreciate the simplicity of the e card. I just wish that the price was more reasonable. I already paid for the certification geeze!
PADI, it’s great to have access to this app, but please make it possible to add PADI eCards to Apple Wallet! l
It would be *much* easier for me as a diver to have my eCard available in Apple Wallet, instead of having to always open the PADI app.
The PADI eCard signup process could be easier as well, was a bit of a mission to get my eCard issued.
Using the new app’s log book it is only in metric and Celsius. Not the end of the world but after you’ve been using feet and Fahrenheit in the other app it’s frustrating not to have the same option. If changing it is an option it’s not intuitively obvious.
Also after I’ve finished logging the details the app doesn’t record the depth or bottom time. Even after I try to update the dive with the same info the app won’t record it and is left blank. Really annoying and really bad app. Do better PADI with the millions of dollars you’re making.
I love the way you are working to help us, members, to keep diving, and having all my e-cards in the phone, not having to carry all of them every time I travel is great. Also to have information available like making knots for the ones who don’t do them often is a great plus!
Thank you PADI for keep us, members, on your first place.
I liked the old app better than this one
The certificate used to have barcode
Colors was much better
A quick glance shows this “updated” app to be even more useless than the last one. Why do we have to pay to get an e-card? With what we pay for a certification it should be included. Guess that just falls under the Pay PADI motto. Where is our dive logs and equipment list. How about a “local dive spots” section so you can find a place to dive when you travel. PADI is great at using technology to get your money, but free stuff like this falls way short. Try again PADI, you once again missed the basic mark.

Hello! Thank you for your feedback. This app will have the features you listed below added in future releases. The plastic card is what is included in the price you pay for certification. The eCard remains an optional benefit available for purchase. I will pass along this feedback to our team for future considerations.I’ve used the original PADI app to log my dives for several years. I recently opened my app and was prompted to download this new version. It promises you will not lose your data but that it not true. What they fail to tell you is that you WILL
LOSE YOUR DATA unless you also buy an e-card. I went back to the old app and all of my logged dives are gone.
Thanks PADI, I appreciate you failing to tell the truth and causing me to lose the last couple years of my logged dives unless I purchase the e-card.
First the app took over 7 minutes to load and even open. Then I couldn’t get the e-cards to download so without WiFi or cel service its worthless. As for the information...If you are more than a beginner diver it seems a bit worthless. Through the previous app you could access so much more information, get access to the full PADI website, look up certification numbers, access travel and information about con ed courses etc. All great tools for a dive professional. This app has knots, hand signals, and how to pack a bag, this info is not enough to justify needing the app, and who wants to have to go to 2,3,4 different PADI apps to get all the info. Most DM and Instructors I know used the app to look up customers certifications daily. The app only has a pro check which for the average user is unnecessary. I’ll just carry my cert card it’s much easier than the app.

Hello, I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing an issue with our new APP. I would love the opportunity to help address your concerns and hopefully provide resolution. If you are interested, would you mind contacting me directly at webmaster@padi.com and providing your direct contact information so I may reach out to assist? Looking forward to working with you.So. This is the upgrade?! Was this new version app from a junior high science fair?
If you have a good app in the first place and then update it with only two things...and oh, by the way, your dive logs in the future then this is ludicrous. Seriously!!??
You should at a minimum have all the features plus more now ... just like the previous app. Upgrading an app is upgrading. Not regressing back to the beginning of app development.
Maybe sync all the different websites and apps you have to use with PADI into one app or website!!?? That would be a Great Leap Forward especially on the Pro side of it. Why do I need to jump around to different locations to get the same content that could be in one place. Makes zero sense.
This is very much a old DOS program/app and I find it hard to believe the #1 dive program in the world would publish this “new” app.
Please stop and either bring back the old app. If your not ready for the new app then don’t put it out.

Thank you so much in advance for the opportunity to assist. Looking forward to working with you.Should not be listed for iPads! What a step backwards, just about everything is gone!
The locator and log bog was easy to use on the iPad, why remove it?
Where is the listing of courses and their infomation?
Isn’t a new version supposed to have new features/functions. I guess they will be coming out with a version where you need to pay to get access to your data now too
