I really liked using the Padi E-learning for the open water scuba course. I found it easy to navagate. The way it re-visited the most important points throughout ,worked for me. The videos were well done and really brought it home. I had a great experience and can’t wait for my pool & ocean time to finish! Rich,Prescott,AZ. PS - some of the funny wrong answers helped to keep it light.

My group had three instructors, Samuel, George and Rosa (I hope that the spelling is correct :)
I speak for all when I say that these three persons were the most wonderful, experienced and caring individuals ever. They took care off as in the most professional way. They were all very funny and was so easy and fun too communicate with. We finished the course open water yesterday and we already miss them.
With great love/ Paul Saliba

I went to Bully Diving Barricata to get my diving certification. What I came home with was so much more.
I will be honest, I was not the easiest student. More than once underwater I found myself right on the edge of panic. But every single time, Michela was right there, steady and unshaken, pulling me back to calm. Beside her was Benedetta, her assistant instructor on every single dive, the kindest, most helpful soul you could hope to meet, while still keeping a sharp eye to make sure everything was done properly.
In their care I never once doubted that I was safe. The mood on the boat and underwater was like being among old friends, warm and welcoming, yet focused and serious the moment the training demanded it. I was watched, corrected, and pushed, in both theory and practice, and as my skills improved, so did the freedom I was given to prove them. What I had expected to be a quirky holiday idea turned out to be a real achievement to complete, both mentally and physically, but with Michi and Benedetta guiding me, I never doubted I was in good hands.
The underwater world offered plenty on its own, curious little sardines gathering by the hundreds, the sarago with their dark tails, and an impressive scorfano patiently waiting to be spotted. Yet none of that compares to the people who took me down there.
You go to learn how to dive. You come home with two new friends. Bully Diving at the Barricata Holiday Village is highly recommended, whether you are a first timer or an experienced diver.

It was an amazing experience my dreams coming true when I float and breath underwater is a feeling I never will forget and what I really liked was when we fed the angelfish and I also can’t forget the one who taught me in a educational and fun way
Thank you for this amazing experience

The most awful, outdated and useless app/website I’ve encountered. Trying to replace c card. I’d rather spork my left eyeball out than continue to fight a platform that looks like it was built in 2007. Hey PADI, lots of people do stuff like this on their phone these days. Update your systems!

The app is glitchy on the try to go back n forth between different chapters, make it very annoying and frustrating to study. the final exam scores doesn't get updated after completing the test, have to re-do the thing. Luckily instructor is patient n guiding through the process.

Completing the PADI eLearning course has been a great experience. The learning materials are well structured, informative, and easy to understand, providing valuable knowledge about underwater safety, discipline, and diving practices. The course has helped build my confidence and enthusiasm as I begin this new journey in diving. I appreciate how the content makes learning enjoyable and accessible for beginners while creating a strong foundation for future growth and development.

The e-learning was very well explained, with clear videos.The quizzes and exam questions are challenging. I am ready to take my training on the water.
Reply from PADI
Takes too long for the amount of information.
PADI thinks that the longer the make elearning take, the more they can charge for it.
But the amount of knowledge, including repetitions in knowledge reviews, quizzes and exam can be done in 4-5 hours by a competent learner.

I always felt safe and in really good hands. The explanations were very clear. My instructor was always very helpful and patient with me. He took away my fears and brought lots of joy for diving to me. I would give him only the best marks.

Very customer friendly. Explain everything very well. Take time to adress all concerns. The dives are well thought and planed. The dive guides and instructors very experienced and concerned about safety. In every dive there is something new to see and experience.
