This programs takes you through the acadamic part of the divemaster course by text, pictures and videos. It costs a bit more comparing the other way of studying the theory at our tropical paradise. But if you are time limited or you don't like to study under the sun, this is the best option. Have a look at the divemaster eLearing part at the PADI website.

There is also another online program that you can take. It is called the Online Dive Theory. Here we will test you the 5 sections of the theoretical part of the diving knowledge of the instructor course. Your diving knowledge will be straight away at the same level as a dive instructor.
