How do I get started with PADI eLearning?
Once you have booked and paid for your PADI course with us, we will send you a student registration Google Form to fill out with the necessary information we need to assign the PADI eLearning to each student that has signed up with you. This includes a unique email address per student, birthdate and legal names. You will then receive 2 emails directly from PADI. 1) is to create a PADI account and start the eLearning course 2) is the course paperwork including the Diver Medical which needs to be filled out before arriving.
How long do you have to complete the eLearning course?
You have lifetime access to the eLearning content, however the quizzes, exam and practical training all need to be completed within one year to meet the standards of a PADI course.
When would I need the additional private instruction session?
If you're unable to successfully complete any course component after your first attempt, a second attempt would require scheduling an additional private instruction session. This personalized instruction provides the focused attention you need to meet certification requirements.
What is the difference between the Single Student and Group rates?
Our Group Rate (2+ students) offers a discounted price when multiple people book the same course together on a single reservation. The Single Student Rate applies when only one person books the course. Please note that the Single Rate does not equate to a private lesson - you may still be grouped with other students. The Group Rate is our way of rewarding those who bring friends or family to learn together.
How do you document that you've completed the eLearning segment?
Once you finish the eLearning portion of the course, the Ocean Frontiers Dive Center is notified that you have completed it and that you are ready for the practical phase of the program.
I already bought the PADI eLearning, do I have to pay full price for the course with Ocean Frontiers?
No, you do not. Feel free to contact reservations@oceanfrontiers.com in respect to this and they will tailor a course package for you.
