College credit for PADI courses

If you are working on an Associate or a Bachelor’s degree, your school may accept PADI certifications for recreational/physical education credits. The following PADI website has information on it:

So if you go from Open Water to Rescue, you get three semester units... so one PE course credit....one more class you don't have to take at school.
