I did a Nitrox course in Egypt (as I did the OW AOW and Rescue) and they (the diferent Diving Center from the 2 ones where I maked the first 3 courses) didn't send the certification to PADI. I contacted PADI but it just dosn' t worried much about the situation. I mind the PADI in Switzerland (that is not EU) and in UK (that is not completly EU). So there's no PADI in EU...
The diving center and the instructor answered to PADI and whats they wrote? They wrote that I just did some Nitrox dives with them but not the course!
How would I make "some" Nitrox dives if I was not Nitrox certified? The Nitrox dives I did with this "Dive Break" (based in a big hotel in Hurgada, Egypt), were the dives to the Nitrox course, of course!
I sent to PADI the copie of the temporary certification and the copie the first receipt they gave me (they wanted me to give back them this receipt where is write "Nitrox Course" to give me a new one, but I refused as I suspected that something was wrong: at end they didn't give me the receipt with all amouth I gave to they).
PADI, after contacting the dive center and the instructor, told me to try to solve the problem with the diving center...
But if the diving center, and aparently the PADI' s certified instructors that work 4 the diving center, told PADI that I just went to a few dives - not to a Nitrox Course - why should I contact, again, this kind of people? Isn't PADI whom should to solve this situation as there is PADI certified instructors involved?
More: I sent to PADI all e-mails I shared with this "Dive Break", where is very clear that is a Nitrox course and it's certification the subject about we dealt on the e-mails.
Note: I' m very sorry for my truly bad english.
