PADI Club is the world’s largest diver community, inspiring adventure and blue planet connection with exclusive benefits and access to insider savings. More PADI Pro Members than ever are engaging with PADI Club, and there is more for you to explore. 

Now, PADI Club is offering PADI Retail and Resort Members in the US and US territories the opportunity to generate additional revenue through a new PADI Club affiliate revenue sharing program. If you haven’t already learned about this, here’s what you should know:

Much like PADI eLearning® affiliate links, you can create a custom link to share with your customers. When they use that link to join PADI Club as a new (first-time) member, you receive a revenue share.

PADI Five Star Dive Centers and Resorts receive a USD $20 revenue share per new PADI Club sign-up
PADI Dive Centers and Resorts receive a USD $10 revenue share per new PADI Club sign-up

The PADI Club affiliate program is currently available in the US and US territories only with plans to expand the opportunity to dive centers and resorts globally in 2024. 
Rev-share is available for first-time PADI Club sign-ups only. 

“We are ramping up and really pushing PADI Club. You are doing a great job with the program. Looking forward to more business with the affiliate links,” Jeff C., PADI Five Star IDC Owner.

New Benefits

More than 71,000 PADI Professionals have joined PADI Club this year, and it’s not hard to guess why. With ongoing access to industry experts, travel rewards and valuable tools to leverage for personal development, new diver acquisition and improved diver retention, Club membership offers robust benefits for all divers. And, Club is constantly adding new member benefits, including these three new partner benefits.

1. SeaLife

Out with the old and in with the new! Club is bringing SeaLife back into the fold with a new benefit. Club members who purchase select camera sets from a PADI Dive Center or Resort will receive a rebate for a Seadragon 900 Mini Light. This offer is not available for online purchases, as the point is to drive business to PADI and SeaLife retailers. See the Club benefits page for more details. 

2. Costa del Mar

One of Club’s newest brand partners is Costa del Mar, the mainstream sunglasses brand made for water people. Costa is now offering 25% off their entire product line at costadelmar.com. You’ll especially like the Untangled Collection – sustainably made sunglasses from recovered fishing nets. Use code: PADI25

3. Tula Blue

Tula Blue is the jewelry solution for those who love to live life to the fullest. Crafted on ROPE their artisans spin by hand, Tula Blue is waterproof, kid-proof and life-proof. Not only will you receive 15% off your online purchase, Tula Blue will also donate 5% of every purchase to PADI AWARE. Use code: PADI 

Scuba Diving Magazine

The annual Scuba Diving magazine subscription is the most widely used benefit of the bunch, keeping divers connected through dive travel inspiration, gear reviews, expert scuba tips and marine wildlife features. Keeping divers engaged is good for business, and Scuba Diving delivers. Watch for exciting changes in the coming months based upon reader feedback, including more diver and Club member engagement, which resulted in the magazine’s first-ever cover selected by PADI Club members. Over 900 divers voted on the September/October cover featuring Sofia K. Tenggrono’s pygmy seahorse image. Congratulations Sofia and thanks to all of you who made this cover possible with your enthusiasm and your votes.

Ocean Conservation & Wildlife Protection

Did you know 5% of every Club membership is donated to PADI AWARE Foundation for global ocean conservation and marine animal protection?

Club also integrates Dive Against Debris events into its annual members’ dive trip. This past July, Club hosted the first-ever Dive Against Debris event in Belize. No one is better skilled to tackle debris than PADI Divers. Club promotes conservation awareness and ocean stewardship, which bodes well for our blue planet and supports PADI’s mission to mobilize millions of Ocean Torchbearers to take unified action and create positive ocean change. 

NEW PADI AWARE Specialty eLearning Conservation Course

PADI AWARE Week saw the  launch of a new PADI AWARE Specialty eLearning Course. It has never been easier for your students to expand their knowledge of the ocean and take actions to bring about positive ocean change. There are no prerequisites for this course, and any age and experience level will qualify. Your students can take the eLearning knowledge portion independently, then connect with you, the PADI Pro, to experience the 10 Tips Workshop. This can be done in person or 100% virtually to satisfy the certification requirements. This new specialty will be part of your students’ 20% off eLearning course offering as a Club member. Now, let’s Seek Adventure, and Save the Ocean!
