Divemaster eLearning - do I need a full crew pack with Hologram?

[mmerriman]

I cancelled my elearning for DM - The knowledge reviews are really difficult to complete when it's online, much easier to thumb thru the book for the exact wording they look for - the book is a good reference tool after the fact too.

IMO, elearning is for the lower level classes, DM and above is way too much info.

that said, the paper tests are "harder" (as reported by some candidates) for those sections and take up valuable classroom time...

As of May 2021 you can purchase the digital divemaster crew pack and can use the product code in place of the hologram. Padi even says that "The current paper version of the divemaster crewpak will continue to be available while stock remains", so it looks like they are slowly phasing out the paper version.
