Diving adventure and creating a digital profile

After completing the diving course, a diver asks us - “I am a new diver. I have recently obtained two important certificates in the diving club – “PADI Open Water Diver" and "PADI Advanced Open Water Diver". Full of joy at my achievement, I decided to register on the PADI website and create my digital profile. However, when I see the certificates in the newly created PADI profile, I am not able to and it caused a bit of confusion.”

In this article, I will answer the question you asked, help you with accurate answers, and tell you specific steps on how to see or add certificates to your PADI profile and how you can see all of your certificates.

Question - how quickly can the information appear in the profile? The answer to this question can be many - one of the possibilities is to wait. Before doubting the operation of the system, it may be necessary to consider that data synchronization may take time. The other option can be as simple as logging out of your PADI profile and then logging in again. This can help reload the data and get the certificates to appear on the profile.
