It will help you to focus on fine-tuning your demonstration skills: on dives that you guide or on courses that you assist. Keep in mind to have a few dives with your or rented equipment before the course starts. You will also have an opportunity to get a consultation on most modern diving equipment and tips to get the best benefits from ownership.
