Hello,
I just wanted to let everyone know about an injustice that has occured.
Last year, in July, I finished my open water certification for scuba. I was so excited to get diving. But, as time went by, I did not see my certification card come in the mail. I called my dive instructor.. and he told me that "PADI" can be a little slow at getting these things back to you.
About a month ago.. now I finished in July of last year... I thought.. I am going to call PADI and see what the heck is up?? I talked to one of their customer representatives and he told me that neither me, my boyfriend, or two of my friends that all took the course at the same time, were even in their system. A little annoyed, i called and left a message with my dive instructor asking him if he forgot to send it in.. and if he could send it in soon because I would really like to dive this year..
He never called back, I e-mailed.. He never called or emailed back.. i tried about six more times to get a hold of him and nothing..
Now I was mad.. so I called PADI yet again.. they tried calling him and he said.. its in the mail.. its been a month since I called PADI.. and trust me its not PADI's fault.. they are trying as much as possible to get this all straightened out..
So i did some research.. there are approximately 22 people in Brockville that have not recieved their certifications....
I'm just really upset because I just want to dive.. and I didn't want this to turn into a big problem because, I thought my dive instructor was a good friend and now I have reconsidered this ..
I just wanted to let everyone know out there that I exist.. in case someone else from Brockville is waiting for their certification with me.. I'm really sad because I dont' think I am going to get to dive this summer.
The stupid thing is, me being new at diving, I didnt' know that he was suppose to sign my dive log.. and.. He did not give us a temporary card.. he told me he was out.. we tried on several occasions to get one.. but then the store closed..
anyway I just wanted to let you all know of the injustice.. I hope everyone has a great summer diving..
