Has anyone else heard of the PADI Travel Network on the travel site Tripping.com? Members of the PADI network on Tripping can connect with local divers all over the world when they travel. I was thinking of joining and was wondering if anyone else had any firsthand accounts of connecting with locals? It seems really fun - plus you can apparently also arrange for free homestays which on my budget is a really great thing!
 
Hey Lauraci!
I did try Tripping to meet with locals. This summer I went Mexico for some scuba diving and I connected with a bunch of local divers through the PADI network you were asking about. Once I arrived, they took me to their favorite spots to dive, and shared the best Mexican meals I have ever tasted!!!
We did not do any homestays because my boyfriend and I had reservations already, but I must say, going back to the hotel was probably the saddest part of the day.
Let me know if you join!
