This handy alternative route allows you to eliminate study time from your vacation by completing all of the classroom theory in advance, so while you are on holiday, you can focus on the fun part of getting under water and exploring everything to be found beneath the water's surface!
Instead of spending 4-5 days of your holiday studying and practicing scuba skills in a pool, you'll arrive with the majority of your PADI Open Water Diver Course already complete.
What makes it even better is that you can get started today - right now!
