did the instructor have you fill in and sign a log for the fill?
Nobody gave me the questions and I didn' t ask because as a especiality course it may work diferently as others PADI courses I did (AOW and Rescue as the OW course I did with CMAS).

you should have been advised to have taken the pic envelope home and mail it in from there.The last day the instructor filled the envelope to PADI certification in front of me (I gave they the photos) detaching from the temporary certification they gave me.
PADI told me that this diving center (Dive Break) is not PADI certified. Ok, but instructors are owner are PADI certified indidivuals. By the way, I can give similar situations within PADI 5 stars resorts in Egypt.
