PADI Online Digital Manuals; Eco-Friendly Learning!
No longer do you have to carry around your diving text book, or have to worry that you will loose or damage it! PADI Course Manuals are available in 100% Digital Format so anyone who completes a PADI Course with Blue View Divers will receive an E-Manual! If you thinking about getting certified, then keep reading!
As a PADI Green Star Dive Centre we follow PADI’s new ideas to promote Eco-Friendly learning, such as E-Manuals. PADI Open Water Diver, Advanced Open Water Diver and Rescue Diver are all now available in 100% Digital Format in many languages.
‘Eco-Friendly. Paper Free. No Shipping.’
PADI Open Water Course: You use our shop’s paper manual for use during your course. Your own copy will be a digital version which can be accessed anytime on the PADI Library App. If you are pushed for time on the island and want to complete your full Open Water Course with us, we can send you your E-Manual in advance. All you need to do upon arrival is watch the relevant DVDS, review your answers with your PADI Instructor and complete some quizzes and final exam.
PADI Advance Open Water Course: You will also be given a paper copy of the manual during your course, and there are no DVDs, quizzes or exams, with the Advanced Course so only five Knowledge Reviews are to be completed!
PADI Rescue Diver: Again, paper manuals and the DVD will be available here during your course, however the theory is more thorough for the Rescue Diver so it may not be a bad idea to complete a few chapters prior to arrival to the island.
When you enrol in your PADI diving courses, your Dive Centre or Instructor will register you on the PADI Pro website. You will be sent a PADI E-MANUAL via email, and a Certification Credit will be allocated in your name.
The manual cannot be downloaded, printed or otherwise shared – a printed version can be purchased with us if you prefer.
