DEEP THOUGHTS: The PADI website should be the first online stop for anyone considering taking up diving. A detailed list of official PADI courses--from beginners to instructors--is supplemented with a list of PADI-approved dive centers around the world. You can also take a fish quiz or download watery wallpaper for your desktop. And be sure to read up on AWARE, PADI's conservation program--or, better yet, sign up for a clean-up campaign, to help coral reefs thrive while you dive.
