There are always two sides to every story, as has been said before I would try and contact the instructor and if the student diver wishes, advise her how she makes a complaint.

my tuppence worth ?
Absoluteley not.

If she contacts the Instructor then its his (I know diving word) against
her novice reply. He could say anything to try and smooth it over if he sees
a problem. Even if an Instructor freind went along on her behalf, what's it
got to do with him?

On the other hand if she contacts PADI and makes a QA complaint, then
they will investigate. PADI arent dumb, they know when they are being
sold a pup and there questions will be based on standards. Not so easy to
fob off as it would on a novice.

PADI QA's job is to make sure standards are adhered to. Its not for the
victim or his/her mate to do the policing. Leave it to the professionals.
