Scuba Tune-Up + Confined Water Skills Review = SCUBA TUNE-UP
The online program uses interactive videos to review basic dive skills, but urges participants to visit a dive center or resort for inwater practice (and to learn about the latest updates in dive equipment). The online program also includes a segment on diving with Enriched Air - promoting continuing education with your business.From the Introduction:
Although Scuba Tune-up includes a Diving Skills review section, this does not replace an actual in-water review of diving skills with your PADI Professional. Contact your PADI Dive Center
From the Dive Skills Review Section:
During this section you reviewed important dive skills you learned during your entry level scuba course, but this is no substitute for spending time in the water with your PADI Professional going over these skills. During such a session you’ll have the opportunity to practice important skills such as buoyancy control, mask clearing, breathing from an alternate air source and determining the correct amount of weight to wear.

I do have a question for PADI (as a dive center): for the scuba review does any portion of this come to the dive center or does all $50 go to PADI?
Hi Laurie,
That's an excellent question.
$50 is the consumer price. As with all our eLearning programs, there is an incentive for the store. I'll send you an email with more information.
Thanks for the tip Megan! I put it in my newsletter last week and I already have 2 signups!
