Correct repetition skills means that a skill is properly acquired and a response to a situation will be instinctive response so as potential problems are automatically solved before they result in an unfortunate accident. The result of this extra care ensures that trainees enjoy their ocean dives more with an added degree of competence and safety. </div> <div> In the ocean phase of AUSI training, trainees "learn the skill of diving" and not just waste their valuable underwater time observing other class members perform skills on every dive. During the ocean diving stages of the AUSI training system the emphasis is placed on both dive planning and having a good time underwater. Priority is also given to exploring the wonderful marine environment under the close supervision of an AUSI instructor. </div> <div> The AUSI system has also been designed to allow in-house instructor training with the use of AUSI's specially designed competency based assessment forms. Instructor courses can take 9 days, 9 weeks or even 9 years. In other words, instructor training can be designed to suit the time frame of both the store and the trainee. All instructor candidates must pass examination by an independent AUSI Instructor Examiner. </div> <div> For instructors from other agencies who wish to become an AUSI instructor, AUSI has also made their Orientation (crossover) programs easier. Instructors from other agencies simply work through the AUSI Instructor Workbook which involves completing the lesson reviews of the AUSI Instructor Course Notes and undergoing an open book Standards and Procedures Examination. AUSI orientation can be done using this web site. </div> <div> <A HREF="professional__diver_education__m.htm" TITLE="AUSI Pty Inc"><B>Back to Top</B></A><A HREF="professional__diver_education__m.htm" TITLE="AUSI Pty Inc"><B> of Page.</B></A></div> <bR> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> Publishers of the leading independent Scuba theory reference:</div> <div> <B> <A NAME="recreational_scuba_diving_a_guide_to"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B><B>"Recreational Scuba Diving: A guide to safe diving"</B></div> <div> Retail price is AU$49.50 plus P/H</div> <div> Available by ordering by completing this form...</div> <bR> <div> <B>Preface</B></div> <div> Recreational Scuba Diving - a guide to safe diving is a comprehensive guide to the theory of scuba diving written to enable new divers, experienced divers and instructors to have a clearer understanding of the principles of safe diving. The informative text covers the essentials for introductory scuba diving, open water diving, advanced diving and specialty diving. The review questions and the end of each chapter are designed to assist with learning and understanding. There are six sections to the book structured according to the level of training being undertaken:</div> <div> <B>Section One - Introduction to scuba diving</B></div> <div> Fundamentals of equipment, underwater physics and basic physiology, essential knowledge required before venturing underwater for the first time.</div> <div> <B>Section Two - The diver underwater</B></div> <div> Advanced underwater physiology, so a diver has an understanding of the component gases of air and their effects when breathed at depth.</div> <div> <B>Section Three - Dive planning</B> </div> <div> Basic principles of safe dive planning.</div> <div> <B>Section Four - Diving first aid</B> </div> <div> Recognition, treatment and prevention of problems a diver may encounter in the field.</div> <div> <B>Section Five - Specialty diving</B> </div> <div> Key information for a diver to progress beyond open-water training. This specialist knowledge forms the basis of the Advanced Open Water certification and other specialties.</div> <div> <B>Section Six - Scuba mechanics</B> </div> <div> Essential reading for divers who wish to understand the operation of scuba equipment.</div> <div> It must be emphasized that safe and enjoyable scuba diving begins with thorough training in the basic skills, preferably in the comfort of a pool where they must be learned and practiced until they are second nature, before venturing into the ocean. The basic skills are listed in Appendix I - Essential diving skills. Ocean dives should follow a structured format offering a variety of dive sites that will not only challenge the trainee but also enhance learning, safety and enjoyment. If you don't feel comfortable after completing your dive course, insist on doing more training dives under supervision until you do. This will protect your investment and you will enjoy a lifetime of wonderful scuba dives. </div> <bR> <div> <B>Retail price is AU$49.50 plus P/H</B></div> <div> <B>Available by ordering by completing this form...</B></div> <div>  <form action="http://csbmail.globalscape.com/cgi-bin/csbmail/csbmail.pl" method="POST" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded"><input type="hidden" name="tlx_SortOrder" value="FirstName,LastName,Email,Company,Address1,Address2,City,State,Zip/Postal Code,Phone,Fax,MailingList,Preferred Method of payment,How many copies of the Text do you require?"><input type="hidden" name="tlx_FormIndex" value="2"><input type="hidden" name="tlx_OKMessage" value="Thank you for your request for the Text."><input type="hidden" name="tlx_SendMode" value="1"><input type="hidden" name="tlx_Subject" value="A request for text was submitted."><input type="hidden" name="tlx_EmailTo" value="orders@in-depth.org"> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1" border="0" align="center"> <tr> <td align="left">First Name:<br> <input type="text" name="FirstName" size="30" maxlength="100"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left">Last Name:<br> <input type="text" name="LastName" size="30" maxlength="100"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left">Email:<br> <input type="text" name="Email" size="30" maxlength="100"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left">Company:<br> <input type="text" name="Company" size="30" maxlength="100"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left">Address Line 1:<br> <input type="text" name="Address1" size="30" maxlength="100"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left">Address Line 2:<br> <input type="text" name="Address2" size="30" maxlength="100"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left">City:<br> <input type="text" name="City" size="30" maxlength="100"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left">State:<br> <input type="text" name="State" size="30" maxlength="100"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left">Zip/Postal Code:<br> <input type="text" name="Zip/Postal Code" size="10" maxlength="10"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left">Phone Number:<br> <input type="text" name="Phone" size="14" maxlength="14"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left">Fax Number:<br> <input type="text" name="Fax" size="14" maxlength="14"></td> </tr> <tr> <td> <input type="checkbox" name="MailingList" value="yes"> Add me to your mailing list</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left">Comments:<br> <textarea name="Preferred Method of payment" rows="5" cols="30"></textarea></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left">How many copies of the Text do you require?:<br> <input type="text" name="How many copies of the Text do you require?" size="30" maxlength="10"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"><input type="reset"> <input type="submit" value="Send" name="tlx_send"></td> </tr> </table> </form>  </div> <bR> <div> Created: 3 February 2003.</div> <div> Last modified: 28 January 2008.</div> <div> Authorized by: Association of Underwater Scuba Instructors</div> <div> <A HREF="http://www.ausi.com.au" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.ausi.com.au">http://www.ausi.com.au</A></div> <div> Email: <A HREF="mailto:ausi@ausi.com.au" TARGET="_top" TITLE="mailto:ausi@ausi.com.au">ausi@ausi.com.au</A></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="professional__diver_education__m.htm" TITLE="AUSI Pty Inc"><B>Back to Top</B></A></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
