To start with, let’s look at self-training. In self-training, you read the manual to master all necessary information concerning diving, including diving fundamentals, diving equipment, the underwater environment, diving physiology, diving rules, and diving skills. Using your browser, you can download the manual for free.

final check (test)

Once you have finished studying the manual, it is time to challenge the “final check”, or test.
The test contains 72 questions. After completing the questions and clicking the submit button, test results and an explanation of any mistakes will be displayed.
For the successful applicant, an email confirming completion of the course will be sent.
For the unsuccessful applicant, after a review of the manual, it is possible to re-take the test a second time.
