Another thing about online training...from personal experience...most dive shops (at least in my area) are not set up to offer a confined water dives only portion of the class. I signed up for the PADI online Open Water course while I was still on vacation when I did my Discover scuba dive, I ws that excited about diving lol. But when I got back home and looked into taking only the confined water dives, with the shops in this area I would’ve had to taken ’private’ lessons for the confined water dives which was 1.5 times more expensive than taking the regular class, so I ended up taking the regular class anyway so the money I spent on the online class was pretty much a waste, though I did know the material pretty well having gone through it all twice :o)
