Diver education,why its necessary to learn basic dive theory



Risk elimination. Thats what a scuba diving course is designed to do. There are people
who have the impression that all it takes is a good set of swim skills and you can go scuba diving. Just grab a scuba tank and jump in. Now that can be dangerous.Even lead to fatal mishaps.


And the irony of it is that the fatalities are so easy to prevent . Just takes a little knowledge to compliment the skills and all potential ugly incidents can be avoided.


In a way,it is that simple, without a basic knowledge of what happens to the physical body when exposed to a pressurized environment for a period of time, can lead to serious complications,in extreme cases be fatal.


Knowledge is power,and confidence to pursue a passion in the utmost of safety,no apprehension,fully prepared to have maximum enjoyment with minimum risk,when you know exactly what to do in all situations related to the activity in question.
One thing the beginner student diver will notice during the course is that almost the entire course is about safety.,all about safe diving ,1st you will learn about simple theory ,what happens within your body when you breath compressed air underwater,how it affects the body as the diver goes deeper,how to control and prevent injury by your diving profile.What may happen if certain procedures are not followed . What the diver should and can do, what will certainly lead to injury.

In a nutshell,if the diving theory is learned and the practical beginner skills are mastered during the brief training period ,then there is absolutely no reason why the activity will not be enjoyed.
And the best part of it all is ,it is actually very easy to pick up. What needs to be known is that the course materials are actually designed in consideration of the minimum age group of 12 year olds.They basically learn the same things as the adults.

So unless the student has some form of mental disability,there is no reason at all why they will not be able to understand the dive theory part.
Its the ability to reconcile the basic knowledge of diver safety and inwater skills that produces a safe diver.Both interrelated, practical skills plays a more determining role actually in the making of a safety conscious scuba diver.
All the skills learned during the water sessions are directly relevant to the dive theory.
The role of the dive instructor is to explain each inwater skill and why it needs to be practiced. And the student can relate to the skills if they have done their part and absorbed the theory beforehand.

3 main segments in an average diver course for beginners.
Theory part comprising videos and simple quizzes in written form which has exactly the same material presented visually in video format to reinforce whats already absorbed.Videos show footage of what exactly the student will be learning when they venture into the water.


The second segment called confined water training. Learning underwater skills and getting familiar with basic dive gear in a very controlled environment. Either in a pool or shallow water off a beach.


Then third segment are the open water dives,where the student practices the skills they ve learned in a real ocean environment but dive sites carefully selected ensuring the student can apply the skills learned. Depth restrictions and environmental considerations play a major part in this process.


When all goes smoothly as planned,all requirements are met,then instructor will sign off the student certifying them as a entry level diver which comes with certain limitations as to where and what type of environments they are trained to dive at.
Training system is also all about dive safety.Beginner divers are trained to dive in less challenging environments,and their training will equip them with all they need for it,no more no less,and as they gain more experience, dive skills improve,they can progress into a continuing diver education course where they will be trained for the more challenging sites.
A stepladder system of diver education,where if the diver has the passion,can trained himself all the way into a full fledged professional,which in turn qualifies them to train up other divers.
Recreational diving, thats the operative word.And the combination of basic inwater skills and dive theory knowledge empowers you to be able to maximize the fun factor in a safe and highly enjoyable manner.
