Whether you’re somewhat new to diving or ready to get active again after some time away, PADI Club is a great value. Read these recent testimonials from PADI Club members:

“I joined PADI Club in 2020 when I first started diving as a way to stay connected with the world of diving and ocean conservation. While I haven’t had the opportunity to dive the past couple of years, I stayed with PADI Club to remain connected with the world of scuba diving and because I have always felt drawn to the ocean and cars about ocean conservation. It’s the best way to stay informed about the work being done to protect our oceans.”
Hannah D. –  PADI Club member

“Club keeps me connected to diving…activities, gear, and training.”
Steven K.  – PADI Club member

“The discounts on learning are great, but my favorite PADI Club benefit is the special events curated by PADI (like the speaker series and special screenings). Being a member makes me feel like family. My other super favorite benefit is Scuba Diving magazine. I LOVE it! The photos are amazing. It’s such a luxury to be able to flip through the pages of a beautiful magazine nowadays and not only read but see all the places I dream about visiting, all around the world.”
Angela G. – PADI Club member
