Current Revision Dates and Version Numbers for PADI Exams

One of the most common questions I get is: what is the most current version of ______ ?

So here are the latest version dates for our core exams
(applies to English exams only):

Open Water quiz and exam booklet (71023)
- last revised 12/09, version 3.03.

Rescue Diver exam (70305)
- last revised 06/10, version 3.03


Divemaster exams (71310)
- last revised 07/08, version 2.08.


Enriched Air Diver exam (70117)
- last revised 05/07, version 2.03

Enriched Air Diver exam dive computer option: (70122)
- first printing 2009, version 1.01





Later this week we'll start shipping the revised Open Water exam - updated for the dive computer option.

To put it another way:  the new OW exam can be used for all the Open Water options: table, eRDPML, or dive computer. The revised Open Water exam uses the same product number: 71023.



I also publish a list of PADI's most current versions of our teaching cue cards and slates. 

Yes - there will be revised slates for 2010. We've changed them to match the layout of the instructor manual - which includes some training changes.

For example, we've removed all references to buddy breathing.

When will the new slates be available?
Sometime in early 2010...  I don't have an exact date yet other than it will be sometime in first quarter.

Stay tuned to PADI Instructor news for updates...
