Jesper's Blog

Obligatory file photo:

Welcome to Jesper Johansson's blog. This is my home for pontification on the web. In case this is your first time here, I have been working on information security for about 20 years, and have been writing and speaking on the topic for about 10.
My most recent book is the Windows Server 2008 Security Resource Kit . Because I am also a scuba instructor you may find some posts related to that topic as well. Just because it took me so long to get it, I also like to say that I have a Ph.D. in Management Information Systems from the University of Minnesota.

2010 PADI Instructor Manual Available Online Now

Update February 15, 2010

PADI has finally locked down access to the members site to users who are actually PADI members, making the instructor manual unavailable unless you are a member. Apparently it was not supposed to be publicly available even though the authentication system on the site was reported broken over two years ago and it has been wide open until now.

Original Post:

If you are a PADI dive professional, or are considering being one, you may be interested in the 2010 Digital Instructor Manual. PADI graciously posted it online for free, allowing anyone, not just instructors, to access it. If you are interested in taking the instructor exam this year, this is great news since it saves you the money it used to cost to buy the manual.

The new version of the manual contains all the standards but not all the details on how to teach the courses that used to be in the manual in the past. Those are now in separate guides instead.
