Like the title says, the PADI cert seems unnecessarily complicated.
There are 3 different apps you need to download for no apparent reason. The "choose your dive shop" function doesn't seem to do anything and apparently can never be changed once set.
I finished the ecourse in a day, but it took several weeks to find a dive shop to teach the course because apparently none of the dive shops are listed on the app even though they are PADI certified.
There's absolutely nothing I saw on the website or app or anywhere that said anything about what to do after you finish the ecourse. It looks like you need to go to any PADI dive shop and have them confirm your dive after you log your lesson dive into one of their apps. I figured that out by accident while playing with the buttons.
What else do I need to do to actually receive the certification? It's not like they tell you.
