I took a scuba class and Tropical Penguin Scuba always has one excuse after another for why I do not have my certification card.  They blame PADI (the certification agency) and say they been sent in, but that PADI is slow and sometimes holds them up.  I called PADI and they denied this and said the owner Kevin Schwartz and Tropical Penguin Scuba has been permanently expelled and is not authorized to teach for them.  Apparently only 4 stores in the United States have been expelled and they are one of them. 

I found this at (((link redacted))).  PADI shows the store owner as not being allowed to teach a PADI class at (((Link redacted))).  I know of other divers that also have the same problem and get one excuse after another.  Upon some research I have since learned they have been sued many times.  I will never go to Tropical Penguin Scuba again.
