Lack of resources

Cheap training programs may not have access to essential resources, such as:

• Experienced instructors.
• Up-to-date materials.
• Access to the latest technologies.

Without these, the training may not be as effective in preparing participants for real-world diving.

Missing knowledge and skills

Cheap training programs may not cover essential knowledge and skills. This can compromise both safety and enjoyment.

These programs may also lack the interactive and engaging components that keep students motivated and focused. Without these components, students may not be able to retain what they have learned or apply it effectively.

Poor quality

Cheap training programs almost always suffer from poor quality and may be offered by inexperienced or unqualified instructors. This can result in training that fails to meet students’ needs.

Cheap training also tends to be very short. This means participants may not have sufficient time to fully grasp and apply essential knowledge and skills.

The consequences

Cheap training generally comes up short in terms of:

• resources
• scope
• engagement
• quality
• duration

As a consequence, it fails to effectively prepare students for real-world diving.

You are better off investing in high-quality training that provides a comprehensive, engaging and effective learning experience. Such training will make you a safer and more effective diver and one who also has more fun.
