Have any of you had any problems viewing PADI's new web site? I am finding it to be very slow. I have also noticed that various web pages are not rendered properly. I see the problems both with Firefox and IE 6.0. I called PADI and they said they would look into it. I also sent a note to their webmaster.

Yes, the new site does appear to have a fair number of 'teething problems'. Padiprofile does not load at all (not that it matters much!).
Yes. Like many websites today that use too much Flash, and load tons of ads from all over the world, its slow. Every website I go to now had to load the ads first to make sure you dont miss them.
At the risk of repeating the above, the biggest problem that I have with the PADI website is that it is very, very poor.

Hey,
I'm new to diving and I have to say that PADI's website rocks. Found what I needed, found a dive shop quickly and even signed up for the open water diver course in a few clicks.
The site was fast (I think they resolved the issues that you speak of) and I was using a MAC and Firefox and everything worked fine for me.
In comparison, I tried SSI's and SDI's and they both sucked. I had problems finding a shop with the dive shop finder thing, it sucked in comparison.
I was also happy with the online course work from PADI (and I'm a teacher). Job well done. I have no complaints and have recomended three of my friends already and they have made to same positive comments
