Padi travel is very easy to use and is very good with their communication!

Padi travel is very easy to use and the communication is excellent. Booked a trip and received a phone call immediately o confirm that it was pending and a confirmation would be sent soon. We have used PADI Travel in the past and had a excellent experience.

Impeccable service!

Booking my vacation on padi.com was easy and efficient. I was able to research various hotels as well as scuba diving operators all on their website. Booking was clear and efficient, with all of my information in one place. I did receive several emails sent from a bulk box that were not necessary to my stay, this being the only slightly frustrating thing that happened. All questions I had were quickly answered. I would definitely book with padi again in the future!

Easy to use, but probably not at the cheapest available price.

Easy to use, I used the chat system and had a very helpful live chat with a real person who handled my request and booked the resort that I wanted for me. She contacted the resort and set up the reservation for me. Unfortunately I never actually checked with the resort's website to see their prices till a few days after PADI Travel had charged my deposit. The resort was offering the identical reservation significantly cheaper than I had agreed to pay PADI Travel and PADI Travel said their Best rate guarantee had expired, I was too late to get them to do anything about the lower price the resort as now offering. If I had checked the resorts web site earlier I would of booked directly with them at the lower rate!

Very professional and highly knowledgeable when it comes to Scuba travel

I have been booking an annual Scuba travel trip for a small group of divers for the last few years and the last 2 years I have used the PADI travel services for it. I have worked with one agent, Penelope Sheperd, she is by far the best, very professional and highly knowledgeable when it comes to Scuba travel. Plus, with PADI the added bonuses you get when booking through them, Like DAN insurance, some divers don't carry their own, is a big plus. A few years back one of the divers required Decompression Treatment and it was before using PADI and he did not have his own DAN coverage and the experience cost him almost $40,000. Penelope Sheperd has made the whole process very easy and seamless and has always gone above and beyond my expectations as far as providing customer service. When next year’s trip gets kicked off, I will definitely be coming back to PADI Travel and looking for Penelope to help me out.
