Congratulations to our first eLearning students, David, He Mu, Lian and Fay!
“As you know He Mu and I took the e-learning Padi course before coming to Pom Pom. This gave us enough time to comprehensively review the theoretical part of the course beforehand and be better prepared for the actual dives. At the same time, it gave us more time to relax and enjoy the great weather in pom pom. The e-learning is interactive and very easy to follow. The materials covered are the same as class-based courses, but since there is a person reading the slides, we can just sit back and listen. Thanks again for being flexible and we hope we will have the chance to meet again in pom pom or may be on a dive! David and He Mu”
