As the lockdown eases, but we are still spending more time at home than usual, there’s never been a better time to learn exciting new skills or brush up on existing ones.

Adventure doesn’t have to wait. Whether you’re considering diving into a new sport and scuba is on your list or you want to further your existing experience, PADI®, the world’s largest diver training organisation has a range of online courses to get you started on your next underwater adventure now.

Learning to scuba dive requires both knowledge and practical dive skills. PADI has a range of eLearning courses so you can start your diving adventures at home with the knowledge development portion of a course and work at your own pace.

This convenient, interactive study option allows you to learn anytime and anywhere and uses videos, audio, graphics, reading and short quizzes to help you learn and gauge your progress.

You have an entire year to complete the online portion, and can connect at any time with a PADI Dive Centre to complete your in-water training.

When the current global situation calms, you will then be ready to get in the water right away, develop your dive skills and complete your certification with your PADI Instructor.

PADI has over 200 Dive Centres located across the UK making underwater exploration, adventure and truly memorable dive experiences easily accessible for novices or experienced divers right here on our shores.
