Welcome to where scubbits dive deep! Please msg the mods with ideas, links, and info that can help our community grow. Just a warning, we want this community to be about sharing news, stories and experiences, questions and help, and diving photos and video - basically anything diving and dive lifestyle related. But, image meme posts will be removed without mercy, speared like a lionfish in the Caribbean and left on the reef of removed posts to be eaten by oblivion.
If you intend on posting any medically related questions, (like ascending to altitude after a dive) please refer either to your local barotrauma doctor, or call DAN at one of the numbers on the link below Remember that the vast majority of members here are NOT qualified to give accurate medical advice! Would you like a badge? Click on Edit user flair below on the right side and pick your certification level. (Green is nitrox, red is diver down) If you'd like a Dive Instructor badge you will have to PM a mod to prove you are a certified DI).
Getting Started with Diving FAQ Help us put together a guide for all the common questions and answers. From how to buy gear as someone new to the sport, to tips on tech diving, to how to become a dive professional, we want to compile a resource for divers of all experience levels. If you want equipment help that isn't covered by the FAQ, make sure to mention the kind of environment you would be diving in and your experience level. People frequently post lists of equipment and ask 'if its good', but equipment is dependent on the purpose/environment of the dive (are you in cold or warm water?

Than OP thinking he's capable of doing certain things What, you mean like rescue someone in an emergency situation? Would you, in such a situation, rather be rescued by someone who has no skills whatsoever, or by someone who at least studied the rescue manual and maybe even practiced in private with a buddy? And this is the IMO a good argument why PADI should give out these essential books for free and charge more for the course instead: the goal should be to make diving as safe as possible, right? Reading a PDF = skills?
PADI isn't a charity. Why should they give anything out for free? The book is part of the course materials. Their goal is to provide certification, nothing more and nothing less.
Our goal as divers is to surface alive every time having had an awesome time. I would argue a sense of personal responsibility means you do what you can to make that happen, and perusing a PDF isn't enough. You're welcome to dive your way though, there are enough skills nazis on the Internet without me adding to their number! Reading a PDF = skills? You don't think it would benefit people to read how to rescue someone? Ditch their weights, turn them on their back, etc? One more person having that information could save a life.

Why should they give anything out for free? Let them charge the cost for printing the book for all I care. But as I said: I think they should charge the full cost for the course itself, not lure people into the cert with a 'cheap' offer only to then charge them an arm and a leg for the stupid course materials.
And perusing a PDF isn't enough Did you miss the point? I said if you can't afford it then it's better to at least have read the book. I have done the courses and have the paper manuals, but I have never been able to find them on on torrent sites. It's a pain to take all the books with my diving, especially with the diving gear. I emailed PADI to ask them WTF they do not make PDF's available to people who have completed the course, I pasted below what they said. Anyway, I cut the spine off all the books with a table saw, and scanned them on the work bulk scanner.
Now I have perfect PDF's in my Dropbox for when I travel. Handy, and recommended. Many thanks for your message and feedback. I do agree with you: Books and travellers do not go well together! This is why in 2007 PADI launched the eLearning Service. You can do the theory remotely and the service includes a eCopy of the Manual.
Service is offered for the PADI Open Water Diver, Advanced Open Water Diver, Rescued Diver, Divemaster, Enriched air Diver, Digital Underwater Photography and few more courses and programs. The Open Water Diver eLearning is even translated in various languages! PADI Instructor and Dive Centers operate as standing-alone business hence they can chose which option to provide to their students.
For your next PADI course I would suggest you to contact your Dive Center first and check with them if they support the eLearning Service. I will send an email to **** to remind them about the eLearning option and that if they were offering you this option they may have given you a better Customer Services. Once more please accept my congratulation for your latest scuba diving achievements and many thanks for your feedback!
