PADI Sidemount Diver eLearning is a convenient way for student divers to complete the independent study portion of their Sidemount Diver specialty course from a laptop/desktop computer or mobile device.

The best experience is to study online, however, if students find themselves without internet for periods (such as when commuting or traveling) or have inconsistent, poor internet services, they can download content to study offline via the PADI Training app.

The PADI Training app is available for Apple® iOS devices and Android™ devices. It’s best if devices are no more than three generations old. Content can be downloaded in sections for download convenience with a total file size of approximately 47.3 MB.

PADI Sidemount Diver eLearning provides the basic knowledge for making recreational dives using sidemount configuration for one or two cylinders. Equipment options, setup, weighting and trim, gas management, handling potential problems, and entry and exit techniques are covered. Divers learn key safety concepts and procedures to apply during the one confined water and three required open water dives.

PADI Sidemount Diver eLearning includes all of the required study materials for the Sidemount Diver course including:

• Content from Section One of the Sidemount and Tec Sidemount Diver Manual
• All assessments (Knowledge Review, Exercise Questions, and eRecord)
