DiveCon course consists of academic and water work, lecture and water observations, and lecture and water presentations. Academic work introduces new material and provides a foundation of knowledge. You will attend lectures, watch videos, read manuals, and answer review questions. Each component reinforces the other, creating a Total Teaching System. You will practice scuba and rescue skills in both the pool and open water. This sharpens skills you already have and teaches new ones.
