Lloyd90 Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 All right lads, booking a last minute ish holiday with the girlfriend and I to lanzarote (PDC) and was hoping I'll be able to do some scuba diving out there. I have done my PADI open water in the past, although I can't remember where I've put the bloody card etc. Is there a way I can check / get it ? I do remember diving was a lot cheaper if your already qualified. Thanks Lloyd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oowee Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 You should be able to check with PADI. I have been out without a card and the company checked with PADI who confirmed qual's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rupert Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 Scuba review will include basic skills. mask removal and clear,reg recovery,bouyancy skills, deploy and receive octopus OOA drills.A refresh of the skills in the open water course, if you have not been in the water for a while then a good idea for you as well.

casts_by_fly Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 Padi won't let shops look up records anymore officially. Since they launched the app (which they charge for) they discontinued their lookup online for confirming certificates. You can buy the app which tracks your cards but it is £25 last I checked. Alternatively, go to the padi change address page at https://www.padi.com/scuba/applications/studentrcol/searchrecordp.aspx?id=0K4mDNvC5U8=&type=dmG0sACCL/U=&LanguageID=5# Search on your full name and birth day. Include a middle initial if you have it or used it. You can then show that you had the various cents and when you got them. If the shop has internet access then you can do it live with them. I would also do it before you go and screen shot it. Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
