The 2010 PADI Instructor Manuals have hit the streets! So far, everyone's feedback has been really positive. Here are some questions I've been getting:
Will there be a digital version available?
- Yes - in 2010.
Right now we only have a paper version.As of 4 Feb 2010 the 2010 manual is available for download from the PADI Pros website.
- All renewed DMs, AIs and instructors will get a link to download the new manual in approximately February 2010.
- We are not mailing on CD-ROMs like in years past.
- There will be a CD-ROM version available for purchase in 2010.
Yes, PADI Members who've renewed for 2010 can buy a paper copy of the manual for $73.35 (level one pricing - saves $23). The special offer is only good until 23 December 2009 and only for the paper version.
Does the paper manual come with tabs shown in the photo?
I'm sorry, it only comes with the binder and the pages. We dressed it up for its big photo shoot. I've heard Office Depot sells binders in that size so you might be able to buy tabs.
Where are the Answer Keys and the Lecture Outlines?
See image at right for an example of what I mean by lecture pages....
The presentation outlines and knowledge review answers can now be downloaded from the PADI Pros site. Here's how:
- Login to padimembers.com and click on "Members Toolbox."
- Look for the presentation outlines and knowledge review answer keys under the Training sub-header.
As of today, Open Water knowledge review answer file does not include the answers for the knowledge reviews in How to Use and Choose Dive Computers. Those are available for download from the PADI Pros homepage.
For more information on the new instructor manual, read our previous article about the new instructor manual and changes to our Divemaster crewpak.
I also did a write up on what's in the new IDC crewpak (we've removed the instructor manual since it's now in the Divemaster kit).
