realm in a safe and comfortable manner.

conducted pretty much the same way.
All major scuba diving training organizations such as PADI, SSI, BSAC NAUI, provide scuba
courses in three important steps:
1. Scuba Courses Theory
Before jumping in the water and staring learning to dive it is highly recommended to know and
understand the basic theory behind scuba diving. Scuba theory lessons are generally based on
self-studying, allowing the scuba students to learn and comprehend the information at he’s,
hers own phase. A scuba diving student can self study by reading a scuba diving manual or
watching a DVD.
Once self-studying is done, you and your scuba diving instructor will review the learned scuba
lessons, and after passing a simple quiz you’ll be ready for the next step.
Another scuba lessons option is to purchase the on-line scuba e learning. E learning allows you
to compete the entire theory session independently prior to starting you course and save money
and time on your holiday.
