Q: How is taking a SCUBA-Training.net course different from classroom instruction at my local dive shop?

A: In today's world, many of us find it difficult to take time away from work and family to attend class. The primary advantage of our online system is that you can "attend SCUBA class" in the comfort and convenience of your own home or office. Anytime you have a few minutes, log into our online classroom and work on your lessons, quizzes and reading assignments. Our web-based courses fit into your schedule: you can work on your training at any time of the day or night.

Q: How is the SCUBA-Training.net course different from completing a textbook and workbook based home study program?

A: Like books, much of the information in the SCUBA-Training.net course will be conveyed to you in writing. SCUBA-Training.net adds the following media that are not available in books:

Instantly evaluated quizzes and exams. The moment you finish an exam it is instantly graded and your achievement of the knowledge objectives is assessed. There is no need for you to self-evaluate your work as our system is an objective assessor of your own strengths and weaknesses.
Graphic illistruations of key concepts. Books and classroom instruction are unable to have dynamic illustrations that are most effective in teaching some abstract concepts. SCUBA-Training.net makes extensive use of animated pictures and diagrams to reinforce many difficult to understand physical, chemical and mechanical concepts.
Up to date information and images. Many SCUBA instructional manuals were written years or decades ago and much of the material in these books is often out-of-date now. The dynamic nature of the SCUBA-Training.net's web-based system makes it easy for us to frequently update the material you receive is as timely, topical, and up-to-date as the evening news.

Q: How is SCUBA-Training.net different from video-based instruction?

A: SCUBA-Training.net online course exploits the dynamic and interactive nature of the World-Wide Web. This ensures that your training is the most up-to-date and relevant to your needs, contrasted with the static nature of video-based instruction. In addition, the material covered in our online course is much more detailed and comprehensive than any information that can be delivered in a videotape costing twice as much.

Please understand that online courses are not for everybody. Learning over the web is essentially a solitary activity. If you crave face-to-face interaction or cannot take the responsibility to complete your lessons, you will probably fare better in a classroom environment.
