Common questions
How do I look up my PADI certification?
Enter your first name, last name, and date of birth as you gave them when you certified. Results come directly from PADI's official records and list every certification on file.
Why can't I find my certification?
The name and birth date must match PADI's records exactly. Try the name you certified under, including a former surname or your full first name rather than a nickname, and double-check the birth date. Divers certified by other agencies such as SSI, NAUI, or BSAC will not appear here.
Why does this site exist?
Because your own certification record is surprisingly hard to get to. Even after paying for a course, PADI puts digital cards behind a separate eCard purchase, and confirming a certification has often meant calling a dive shop and asking them to check. This site is a free, open alternative built by the dive community, for the dive community, to query records directly from PADI.
Is this the official PADI website?
No. This is a free, community-built lookup. It queries the same records PADI uses, but it is not affiliated with or endorsed by PADI.
Which certifications show up?
Recreational certifications on your record, from Open Water Diver through Rescue Diver and specialty courses. To verify a professional, use PADI's Pro Check tool.
Do you store my searches?
No. Lookups are passed straight to PADI's systems, and the info you enter is never saved. The site keeps only anonymous usage counts.
