Why eLearning?
The Convenience of eLearning
Your Schedule at Your PaceYou can get started immediately with the knowledge development portion of the course and work at your own pace using the PADI eLearning® system. This convenient, interactive study option allows you to learn anytime and anywhere you have an internet connection.
PADI eLearning lets you:
- Learn by watching, listening, reading and interacting with a dynamic instructional program.
- Access the material for one year, plus gain unlimited access to an online version of the course manual.
- Get in the water quickly – applying what you’ve learned – when you meet with your PADI Instructor.
Learning to scuba dive requires both knowledge development – including facts, principles and concepts – and dive skills including techniques and methods. PADI Open Water Diver Online uses videos, audio, graphics and reading to help you learn, plus short quizzes that let you gauge your progress, and then offers a review of anything you happen to miss. You develop dive skills during actual dives with a one of our instructors. By completing knowledge development online, you’re ready to meet with your instructor and start having fun in the water.
PADI Open Water Diver Course 3-Step Process
