I don't know what this new version you talk about is like but I quite enjoyed my initial training (6yrs ago) and found it quite informative - however since then I have found the scuba reviews to be daft as they always ask the same questions and cover the same pieces of information instead of revising the wider depth of knowledge on the original course - this means that there are somethings on the original course that are never covered. I think we all need to revise our original knowledge on a regular basis to ensure that we are safe divers and remember vital information in an emergency situation.

Remember too - none of us ever stop learning and we should all continue to widen our knowledge throughout our lives as divers - continuously seeking out new information can't be bad and will stop you falling asleep! LOL
