Amazing
I used PADI Training to become a certified open water diver at 11 years!! Looking forward to exploring other courses and learning more about the underwater world!!
Great app
Better than doing it in a classroom
Loses progress state
If you leave the app open in the background it eventually crashes when foregrounded and loses all accumulated progress state.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Great Training, Slightly Commercial”
I recently completed my PADI Open Water certification and had a fantastic overall experience. The course materials were well-structured, the instructors were professional and patient, and the emphasis on safety gave me real confidence underwater. The flexibility of the online learning portion was also a huge plus. My only critique is that at times it felt a bit commercial—there’s a lot of branded gear and upselling. Still, I’d definitely recommend PADI to anyone starting their scuba journey.

Not working
App simply doesn’t work. When trying to download the course getting alert „Scorm package is not ready” and that’s about it.
I’m quivering with rage at this app
I don’t mean to sound ungrateful or like I’m a kicking a poorly reviewed app when it’s down. But this is the most infuriating piece of garbage app that I have ever had the displeasure to download. The inability to complete courses when it’s downloaded off line and then simultaneously not alerting you to the fact that these aren’t completed has made me want to fly to the founder of PADI’s house and kick them in the face.
It will almost certainly be forgotten by 99% of people who use this app as they will be caught up in the beauty of SCUBA. However this app is a scorn on the animals and wildlife that live beneath the waves and I highly encourage any marine life reading this to take arms and begin a siege on PADI HQ to find those responsible for this travesty.

Can’t take the corse
App is buggy and won’t let me take the corse until I select a dive center but won’t load the map.
Good
Having no issues with the app ye you have to download the files but it’s no big deal works great should have better rating
Works pretty good
It works pretty good but there is one bug and that’s when you tap on a video. It does not show the video it just has the audio but then if you click off the video and then click back on it will load. I don’t know why this error is like this, but everything else is very high-quality.
Crashes and loses data
This app has crashed and lost all my logged dives several times, it’s really really annoying. SSI etc don’t have this problem.
App Crashes
I had to log my dives on the website. Pictures don’t appear on the app either?
The app also didn’t recognise my instructed both the website did.
This app needs fixing

Helpful app
Not sure why reviews are so low. good app
While you do have to download the content, it just takes a second or two. My only issue with this is that you need service or wifi to log in, so even if you have downloaded the content, you can’t do it offline which is inconvenient while traveling. Don’t count on doing your work on a flight or out of the country. That is the only reason I don’t give 5 stars, it would be really great if u could do it offline.
Otherwise the app is totally functional and much easier to use than the website on a phone. Idk why the reviews are so low, I’ve had no issues with it crashing and it seems to save my progress well. the website doesn’t work for my iPhone so I’m glad I have the app.

Open water diver
The app functions well, however this is about the open water diver because I want to prevent others from making the same mistake I did with timings. You should aim to spend only about four minutes on every single topic within each section as then that reduces your times significantly (although sometimes it can take up to 12 minutes depending how long each topic is) I did not do this at the start. The E-learning time guidance of 10-15 hours is really wrong. The dive shop I went to said they usually say it will take 21 hours, which seems more accurate. I spent about 30 hours on it although I spent to long on the start so without that slip up I still probably would have spent around 25 hours.

Keeps resting
Can we get past a few minutes before we start
Log in/video issues
I had various log in issues where the app would crash, or go nowhere once I entered my password and pressed log in.
The videos - on about 50%, the image disappears once you press play, and I’m watching a blank screen with a voice over, this is not helpful for training and I have nothing else to do the training on. Some videos work

Can’t log dives
I did my elearning on the app just fine, but now that I’m diving I tried to log the dive and it won’t let me select a location, which won’t let me save without a location…
horrible!
what’s the point of downloading material but then not be able to use off-line??? you must always be connected to the Internet for it to work. Even when you are connected some times it will dump you out of the learning module and back to the main screen. Apparently some modules will continually do this so you have to end up opening up your laptop and going online to see the information.
Such a pain I can’t believe they actually haven’t fixed it after so many years.

Crashes
I’m trying to review my EAN course material and it keeps crashing. It’s super slow to scroll, then it crashes the material and takes you back to the course table if content. Terrible courseware.
Nonfunctional
“More than 70% of the planet is covered in water” and apparently this also applies to PADI’s servers since it’s almost impossible to download anything.
If you are away from perfect top speed internet (i.e. most of the world’s good dive spots) the download will initially stall out, then refuse to ever activate again, with only the cryptic message “Scorm package not ready” to keep you company.
As someone else said, you had one job…
