Having been an instructor and instructor trainer for about 18 years now I have always used a variety of supplemental training materials to enhance the learning of student. Not only my own materials but those of others as well.

On-Line, or distance learning systems have been around since the early 1980s in the corporate world. When the internet came about whole universities were created just for that purpose; bringing the education to you. About 7 years ago a visonary instructor Dan Nafe created a company called Scuba-Training.net which launched the first agency independent on-line training materials for students and instructors to use. More than 250 dive centers around the world use these systems as well as many training agencies he created on-line program for. We have long used On-line training programs but are now bringing them directly to you through our website Scuba Diving Limited (http://www.scubadivinglimited.com)

We have selected a variety of comprehensive programs for you to either start out with or use as a supplement to your current training program or just for the education of it.

Each course includes:

Screen Study Materials (you read online)
Photographs and Illustrations
Video Clips (what it looks like)
Review Questions (to make sure you learned it)

Courses Presented

Scuba Refresher
This refresher course is designed to be an integral part of getting you, a certified scuba diver, back in the water, safely and quickly. Chances are that you learned to dive some time ago and are wanting to get back to the activity. No matter how long ago you started (or stopped) diving, there have been many advances in the art and science of scuba diving. This online course will bring you up to date on the latest tools and techniques used by scuba divers today.

Nitrox Diver
This course provides you (a certified scuba diver) with the information necessary to use Enriched Air Nitrox as a breathing gas for recreational, no-decompression stop, openwater diving. You may complete this course online and complete the practical application phase (gas analysis and dives (if required) with your local instructor.

Rebreather Diving
If you have ever wanted to learn about rebreather diving this is a super on-line program. It was created for Ambient Pressure. Inspiration/Evolution rebreathers are the world's most successful electronic closed circuit scuba systems. You can complete your academic training for the Inspiration or Evolution Closed Circuit Rebreather Diver course here, then go on for In-Water training with your instructor. Many of the top trainers have you use this program before showing up for your rebreather class. Use this program if you are about to get a rebreather or just want to know about them.

Dry Suit Diving
Learn the latest in drysuit techniques from the Scuba-Training.net drysuit course. You will learn how to choose, use and maintain the drysuit that is right for you in this course created by Steve Barsky, author of Dry Suit Diving, now in its third printing. If you have a dry suit and want to lean more, or if you are considering getting a dry suit this program is a MUST.


All of the on-line programs are comprehensive, yet easy to lean from, written text, photgraphs, videos all make this a fun way to learn. Plus you can always go back and review it. When your program is completed you will be contacted by one of our instructors to answer any questions you may have and to schedule dives with you (if needed) or to refer you to a local facility near you to complete any water work.

Scuba Diving Limited is proud and excited to now be able to deliver these training programs direct to you in the comfort and privacy of your own computer. Accademic programs are realtively inexpensive and are fun to do. Plus you will learn more than you can imagine without the distractions of a traditional classroom. Give it a try.
