ScubaCaribe goes digital with PADI Touch
ScubaCaribe is excited to announce that the implementation of PADI Touch™ has been completed in all of their destinations worldwide, taking a giant stride towards the digitalization of their PADI 5 Star dive facilities.
PADI Touch™ is a tablet version of PADI courses and catapults scuba diver training beyond the classroom, home or office. With more and more people choosing to view content on their mobile devices, this revolutionary tool makes it easier than ever to learn dive theory on-the-go.
Watch, listen, read, scroll, tap and interact while you learn to scuba dive with PADI TOUCH™. It’s fun, it’s easy, it’s portable and it’s your entry to the underwater world as a scuba diver. It integrates the manual with the video into a powerful, tablet and smartphone based learning experience. When you dive in, you’ll:
- Learn diving facts, principles and safety concepts in preparation for your confined and open water dives.
- Watch video clips that show you the world of scuba diving.
- Take simple quizzes to make sure you understand the material as you progress.
“People are busy, so they have little time for classroom work or reading books. Our new app is the perfect way for them to learn at their own pace and enjoy an engaging, educational experience,” says Drew Richardson, CEO and President, PADI Worldwide.
With course content available offline without need for Wi-Fi access, PADI Touch™ is perfect for recapping dive theory in even the most remote diving destinations. The journey starts by downloading the free PADI Digital Library App available from the iTunes App Store for iOS and Android Apps on Google Play, and the content will be available offline without need for Wi-Fi access.
PADI TOUCH™ is currently available for the PADI Open Water Diver, PADI Advanced Open Water Diver and PADI Rescue Diver course with ScubaCaribe in Aruba, Cape Verde, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Maldives, Mauritius, Mexico and Panama.

Over the next 12 months, specialist scuba holiday company Dive Worldwide will be supporting Bite-Back Shark & Marine Conservation with donations collected from client bookings to any one of its stunning dive destinations around the world. The independently-owned operator expects to raise £3000 for the UK charity.
Manager at Dive Worldwide, Phil North, said: “We’re especially excited to work with Bite-Back and support its intelligent, creative and results-driven campaigns to end the UK trade in shark products and prompt a change in attitudes to the ocean’s most maligned inhabitant.”
Bite-Back is running campaigns to hold the media to account on the way it reports shark news along with a brand new nationwide education programme. Last year the charity was credited for spearheading a UK ban on the import and export of shark fins.
Campaign director at Bite-Back, Graham Buckingham, said: “We’re enormously grateful to Dive Worldwide for choosing to support Bite-Back. The company’s commitment to conservation helps set it apart from other tour operators and we’re certain its clients admire and respect that policy. For us, the affiliation is huge and helps us look to the future with confidence we can deliver against key conservation programmes.”
To launch the fundraising initiative, Phil North presented Graham Buckingham with a cheque for £1,000.
