PADI has launched a new rewards program for its professional members, called PRO+. Certifications you issue between September 1, 2026 and August 31, 2027 earn points that reduce your 2028 PADI membership renewal fee.
It’s open to eligible PADI Professionals, from Divemasters and Assistant Instructors through Open Water Scuba Instructor level and above. You need to issue at least five certifications to start earning points, and rewards scale from there: reach 50 certifications and you earn Elite 50 status plus points toward your renewal; reach 350 certifications and you earn 1,000 points, which automatically covers your full 2028 renewal fee.
Track your progress through the Student Certification Report and Pro Credential Report on PADI’s site. Read the full PRO+ announcement or see the PADI Pros’ Site for full terms and conditions.
