PADI eLearning

What is eLearning?

e-Learning is internet based course work that you can access from anywhere via the world wide web. With PADI e-Learning, you can sign-up and complete the knowledge-based dive training from the convenience of your home, office or on the road, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.


PADI’s e-Learning system gives you the flexibility to study course material at your own pace. However, during the course, you can access the support of a PADI Professional at Scuba Cat Diving by email or phone to get guidance and help about the topic you are studying.


After completing the online knowledge-based portion of the course, the PADI e-Learning system plugs you into training with one of our PADI Instructors – for the best part: diving! E-Learning makes continuing your diver education more convenient, more effective and more fun than ever!


Which courses can I take online?


What does it cover?

The PADI Open Water Diver course is, by far, the world’s most popular scuba certification course. Millions of people have started diving as certified PADI Open Water Divers.

How does it work?
