Lost Padi open diver cert card

[sipadiver]

Hi,

I lost my Padi Open Diver cert card. Looked over the whole house- found just the Welcome Letter from Padi but not the card.

Probably put it "somewhere safe" then got thrown out by accident.

How do I get a replacement card and how much how I have to pay for it?

As soon as you order the new card, you'll find the old one. Never fails.

or, take AOW then just use that card

That's a good idea. I just checked online and PADI is charging $50 for the replacement. It seems excessive.

Brilliant! I would have never thought of this.

It would only be $50 if you wanted priority processing. $35 for the normal process.

A replacement card may be necessary under the following circumstances:

• You've changed your name (include a copy of legal documentation of name change).
• You are upgrading from any PADI Junior Diver certification.
• You would like to replace your existing card with a Project AWARE Edition Certification Card.
• Your PADI Diver certification was lost.
• Your PADI Diver certification was damaged.

I got my friend to find my PADI number online- and I'll just use that in the meantime whilst I hunt for that PADI cert card. It'll probably show up sometime.
