Learning to scuba dive requires both knowledge development (facts, principles, concepts) and dive skills (techniques, methods). PADI’s eLearning provides the knowledge development portion you need through interactive presentations: videos, audio, graphics and reading. Short quizzes let you gauge your progress, and review and correct anything you might happen to miss. This lets you move through the program efficiently and at your own pace.
The eLearning course is available for one year from the time of course registration. Though you must finish the online portion of the course within that time frame, you will have perpetual access to the training material.
Once you finish the eLearning portion of the course, our dive center is notified that you have completed it and that you are ready for the practical phase of the program. At the end of the eLearning program, you need to print out your eRecord and bring a copy of it with you to our dive center.
Once you book a course with us and choose the eLearning option for studying the theory part, the diving center will order an eLearning product and send it to your email. You will then receive an email from PADI with instructions on how to activate the product and use it.
Its price is included in the course’s price. You don’t need to purchase the eLearning on your own. If for some reason you want to do so you can do it from here.
Depending on the PADI course level (OWD, AOWD, Rescue, etc) the eLearning may be available in both versions the Online and the Offline ones. Skopelos Dive Center will provide you with more details during the PADI course booking process.
