It seems I have been getting this message for years on their Scuba Community page "The release date of the new PADI scuba community has been postponed indefinitely." What's more, why does the promised Scubaearth still not work? www.scubaearth.com
I needed to get it out

PADI has a great website appearance wise but its not the most informative site I have been too. Also I have all but given up on the MYPADI portion of the site. It used to be a wonderful site until someone decided to improve it then stop midstream.
Perhaps they hired some folks from Microsoft to make the improvements ... I feel the same way every time our IT department decides to "upgrade" our Office tools ...
Life is short. Break the rules, forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love deeply, laugh uncontrollably, and never regret anything that makes you smile.
Not everyone who reads SB is looking to learn how best to use their new snorkel. Some are here just hoping to get the chance to tell someone else exactly what they can do with their new snorkel. While others are trying to sell their old snorkel. (gypsyjim)

“There’s a big difference between tolerance and respect. Tolerance is you saying something crazy and me smiling and saying ‘that’s nice.’ Respect is when you say something crazy and I say ‘you’re out of your f—ing mind.’ Direct confrontation, direct conversation is real respect. And it’s amazing how many people get that.” - Penn Jillette

PADI's site does one thing incredibly well: SEO. As for navigation, it's not the best, but it's definitely not the worst by a long shot. As for ScubaEarth, up until today it's stated that it's coming in ~35 days. From what I understand, much of the data from MyPADI will be in it, but I'm not sure if accounts will actually be migrated or not.
Thanks for the news flash scubamarketing. I did not realize that the Scubaearth site is coming out in 35 days. I would like to know if possible where you found this information so that I can keep an eye on it.
In addition, it would be nice if on the advertized web site, they would have a countdown or something to let us know instead of a "page cannot be found" message.
Until a couple of days ago, they actually did have a placeholder with a countdown, I'm not sure what the deal is now. All info I have is direct from PADI at the DEMA show last month (plus a few extra conversations I've had with people in the know). Right in the middle of a project at the moment, but I'll post more from my notes a little later.
I find the PADI site to be VERY good compared to the SSI site. The SSI site has very little information and what information is there is difficult to find.
