5thD-X is proud to offer the Essentials of Recreational Diving DVD . The 1st in a series of recreational diving DVD's from 5thD-X. This DVD is an Overview of Recreational DIR skills, course presentations and workbooks available to all divers either taking a DIR oriented class or generally interested in improving their recreational diving. The primary component of the DVD is the presentation of 15 Essential recreational diving skills that provide a foundation for your diving career. As this is a DVD designed for recreational divers the skills are demonstrated in a single tank with a general overview of key points. (If you are seeking a more technically oriented DVD then you will want the Intro to Tech DVD). ach skill is represented in an unique format. First, a complete and uninterrupted video shows the skill being performed. Next, the exact same video is replayed, with the addition of key pauses and subtitled instructions highlighting the essential elements of each skill. It's an excellent way to preview the skills prior to your class, your instructor will also reference these video's during your class and you can then review these skills following the course. The DVD is easy to use and each skill can be accessed independently through menus. In addition, bonus tracks have been included to provide a sneak peek at some of the more advanced topics we cover in the more advanced DVD's in this series (Intro to Tech, Part 2). As these bonus skills involve a greater mastery of the core skills, they are included as a useful "signpost" to where you may want to take your personal and team skills.
