Def the full 4 day course if you want to do it properly IMO.

I can't imaging how you can learn and certify a diving course online.....

On line? I did mine in 3 weeks. I was certifies by NASDS. The same course the Navy Seals take. Can't imagine learning what I did with an online course.

I'd take the class and go with one that teaches dive computers, not dive tables.
