  • Ideal if you're limited on time or just want to get in to the water as quickly as possible; no need for classroom work on holiday!

The PADI eLearning course will test you at all stages of your learning. Once you have passed all the theory online, you can complete the course at any PADI centre anywhere in the world. There's a great tutorial here.

Of course, if it's the Red Sea that you're heading for, then book with Emperor Divers - the finest instructors in five locations.
