Your PADI certification cards mark every milestone in your diving journey. From your first certification to your latest Specialty completion, they’re proof of training and a celebration of what you’ve achieved.
Now you can choose from limited-edition designs when you purchase an additional PADI certification card.
Choose one of the limited-edition designs, and your card becomes more than proof. It’s a way to showcase your scuba passion.
Featuring everything from striking underwater photography to original digital artwork, these cards are a great way to replace a lost card, carry a backup or simply choose one that feels more like you.
There’s never been a better reason to upgrade what’s in your wallet—or on your phone.
Physical Certification Cards vs. eCards
Prefer to travel light? A PADI eCard gives you instant access to your certification on your smartphone—so it’s always with you.
These cards can’t be lost, damaged or left behind, making them a simple, eco-friendly option for divers on the move.
All new PADI certifications now come with an eCard instead of a physical card.
On the other hand, the physical cards, made from recycled plastic, are a classic, collector’s item and a way to ensure you always have proof of your certification, even when traveling to remote destinations.
The good news? You don’t have to choose your favorite format. Order both in a bundle and save.

PADI's Newest Certification Card Designs
In April 2026, PADI introduced the Ocean Wonders collection of limited-edition certification cards. The images showcase unique moments from the underwater world, captured by photographers who have spent their lives exploring it:
- Flippin' Between Two Worlds by Kellon Spencer—Meet Becky, a wild bottlenose dolphin who often treats people as part of her pod.
- Hatchling's First Swim by Ben Hicks—A baby turtle faces a pivotal and inspiring moment in one of the world's toughest journeys.
- Gentle Giants of the Blue by Brooke Pyke—A rare moment of proximity as two of the ocean's largest fish share the same space.
In addition, three PADI AWARE Foundation cards are currently available, all of which feature eye-catching designs and include a 10 USD donation to support ocean conservation efforts worldwide.
Exclusive Discounts and eCards for PADI Club Members
PADI Club members receive 25 percent off both physical cards and eCards, plus one free eCard featuring an exclusive Club design each year.
