Performance Flexibility |
To maximize the time available and combine other activities during your holiday
with use of out integrated instructional system, all our courses are based on extreme
flexibility. The advantage of our system is that it provides you flexibility in
accommodating learning styles, personal preferences and needs and logistics while
maintaining educational validity. Our philosophy is to give you tremendous latitude
in structuring your courses and the advantages are:
- You will get directly into our lagoon for Discover Scuba with
the Discover Scuba Diving briefing. By doing this, you position
learning to dive as diving more accurately.
- With our effectiveness and the PADI system of training, you will do your independent
study with the Open Water Diver Manual and Multimedia, in which you don’t need to
lectured for development!. After completing the knowledge-development from the manual,
your instructor will assess the knowledge reviews you have completed and elaborate
the areas that need improvement or where you express an interest in more detail.
This economizes your valuable time during the holiday.
- One reason why independent study works well is because individuals learn differently.
Some people need lots of breaks, whereas others need uninterrupted concentration.
