ELearning
E-learning is the online theory component of your dive course. Most online programs will take about 6-7 hours to complete. Please make sure you leave enough time to complete the online theory, before the commencement of your dive course.
The theory MUST be completed before your course. Please note you will not be certified without this.
This online E-Learning registration fee is included in your course fee. However if you do not complete the course or require a refund for whatever reason, this fee is non-refundable.
Given this, please ensure you complete any medical, you may need before registering for the ELearning.
To register, please click here. This will take you to the SSI registration portal.
On the right you will see a LOGIN/REGISTER button underneath a heading of MYSSI. Please click this.
Here, you need to fill in your details including full name, date of birth, email, home address, language, gender and phone number (see below).
You will also need to select your dive centre so here, please select “Australia” for country and either “NSW-> 2261 -> PRO DIVE CENTRAL COAST" or “NSW
Finally, please make sure you read the terms and conditions before, ticking the box indicating you agree with them.
Your login details will now be emailed to you. Please use these to login details to the system, to complete your registration.
You will need a digital photo of yourself- To upload to your profile (see below). This will be the photo that will appear on your digital certification card. Please note, you cannot begin the E-Learning without this photo on your profile.
ProDive Central Coast will receive notification of your registration and they will provide you with access, to the ELearning. They have to manually do this, so naturally it can only be done during office hours. If this is done during office hours and you do not receive a confirmation email from SSI within 1 hour, please give Prodive Central Coast a call.
Once your store has added you onto the ELearning database, you can use your login details, to come back to your ELearning, whenever you like.
Please note that as soon as you create your profile you will have access to the ELearning for Try a Dive, Snorkel Dive, or SCUBA Diver*. This is NOT the correct ELearning. The one you want is Open Water.
*SCUBA Diver is 50% of the Open Water course. If you do begin this, then it will credit to your Open Water ELearning, i.e. if you complete the 3 modules on it, you will have another 3 to go to complete the Open Water ELearning, rather than having to do all 6. Given this, if it is after hours and you have registered and want to begin, feel free to start the SCUBA Diver program as this will be credited when we link you the following morning to Open Water.
