PIC Online and Other Online Services

PIC online is the first item in the Online Services dropdown menu. In the Online Services menu you'll also find:

• DSD registration
  
  
• Diver Replacement Card
  (only use this if you don't do PIC online)
  
  
• ProChek and DiveChek
  
  
• The Access Zone
  (purchase eLearning gift certificates)
  
  
• Our online shopping cart
  
  
• Online Specialty Instructor / MSDT Application

Training Essentials Menu
A lot of what used to be in the Member Toolbox is now in the Training Essentials Menu. This is where you'll find:

• Exam answer keys
  (under Curriculum)
  
  
• Medical forms
  
  
• The Con-Ed Release Form
  
  
• Training Bulletins
  
  
• The 2010 Instructor Manual

USEFUL TIP:
The Forms & Applications page has about 100 links on it. They're organized into categories, but the "Find" feature of your browser can save you time. Here's how it works:

Step One - Activate "Find"

Press Ctrl + F on your keyboard, or from your browser's menu  click "Edit" followed by "Find" from the drop down menu.

A box will appear where you can type in the search term you want.

- Internet Explorer: The search box will appear towards the top left part of your screen.

- Firefox: Your search box will appear in the bottom left of your screen


Step Two - Type in the Search Terms you Want
Let's say you want to to find the medical form you can type in "Medical" or use the form number "10063." Your browser will find that word on the page and jump right to it.

If your initial search doesn't bring up any results, you may have to think creatively. For example, a DSD form might be under "DSD" or "Discover Scuba."

Member / IRRA Toolbox

The sprawling members toolbox from the old site has been pared down to just: certification counts, insurance and member benefits info, and an updated logo / image gallery.

The Resort / Retailer toolbox includes similar information plus a "report card" option. Track certifications and compare how your store performs versus the other PADI stores in your region.

View Order History and Print Invoices

Even if you've never placed an order online, you can view past orders and print invoices from the online shopping cart. First, click "Shop Online" from the home page. Once the shopping cart loads, click "my account" from the top menu.

In the My Account screen, click on "Invoice History." From there you can view order history for the past several years. Click on an order to view and print the invoice.
