Start Training for $145!
A better alternative to e-learning!
More affordable and guided by a REAL Instructor!
All new PADI divers need to complete the Knowledge Development section, and you can do it here! Read below for more information:
We offer the PADI classroom portion, also known as "Knowledge Development", conveniently online, available for students worldwide!
Like PADI E-learning, you will review and complete the same course materials, on your own schedule and at your own pace.
Unlike PADI E-learning, you will interact with a Professional Instructor, who can directly answer all of your questions and provide personal guidance on a wide variety of SCUBA and Diving topics, including gear, skills, safety, and travel! Our classes are interactive!
Cost effective: Our Instructor-led training is just $145, compared to PADI E-learning which currently retails at $230. and we can provide you with the course manual as well ($50 via mail), if you have not already gotten the manual elsewhere. Save some money for diving!!!
You will earn the PADI Course Record and Referral as well as a Certificate of Training. This is transferrable and usable with any PADI Instructor or Dive Shop/Resort around the world. You have up to one year to complete your pool training and checkout dives!
The Instructor will provide assistance to help you continue your training with Confined Water Dives (pool sessions), at a location of your choice. This can be done worldwide. Dive shops and training centers will have their own fee for pool training and gear rentals. Once pool time is complete, its on to checkout dives! We also do dive trips throughout the year that you can join for this!
Want to do the full Class/Pool training as a Group? We can come to you and provide all gear needed, if you have a pool or suitable facility for the training! Email us to discuss details!

FAQ's for our online class:
Is it the same class I would get from a dive shop or e-learning?
Yes, absolutely the same content, but with a comprehensive review led by a very experienced PADI Instructor!
What do I do with my class certificate and referral once complete?
Contact a dive shop or resort to continue your pool training; the Instructor can assist with a referral.
How long after completing the class do I have to finish the pool/dives?
PADI allows up to ONE YEAR to finish all aspects of certification.
What materials do I need for the class?
Each diver needs to have/access a copy of the course manual, with a copy of the dive table (RDP). More info is found in the course folder once you sign up.
How long does the class take in total?
It varies per diver, but you can expect to spend at least an hour on each video and chapter (there are 5), and another hour for the quizzes. Finally, you will meet with the Instructor online for a 2-3 hour review/exam. So about 8 hours or so, give or take, but you can spread out the schedule and content at whatever pace you like!
Do I need to be in the United States to start training?
Not at all, the PADI curriculum is used worldwide. There are 6,600 PADI Dive Centers and Resorts worldwide, and PADI operates in 186 countries and territories. Start training wherever you are, and continue your training near your own location... or almost anywhere!
