These courses include the Open Water Sport Diver, Divemaster, Assistant Instructor, Instructor and Instructor Trainer, and all other related courses. With ISO compliance comes recognition of reciprocity with other dive training agencies, thus enhancing the value to all holders of completion certificates for each level. While content of courses is governed by the ISO guidelines, presentation is not dictated by the ISO standards. PBOP is designing all courses so as to be very attractive to candidates for all levels, with content delivery both in traditional printed form (books/manuals) and also in electronic form, through downloaded materials and e-learning programs. Watch for announcements of further developments.

The Project Team is focusing on developing training programs incorporating the latest technologies and techniques in both diving and training, using the latest concepts and practices available for packaging and delivery of product. This includes traditional deleivery in the form of books, but also internet-based delivery in the form of print and disk downloads, DVDs and e-learning technologies.

The project team are all very experienced and active divers, in the water every day in very differing climates and conditions, and utilizing different techniqus and technologies/equipment. Most are located in dive destinations, rather than just travelling to dive locations or being stationed in residential/origination markets. Project Blue Ocean Phoenix represents the first time that a development of a training program is being undertaken in such active diving environments. All developers are dedicated to increasing the quality and enjoyment levels of dive training, not matter what level of experience the student possesses or where the training takes place.

The utimate target audience of Project Blue Ocean Phoenix is the Universities of East Asia, the participants from which will be able to benefit most from a combination of easy access to technology and lowest cost delivery of product and programs.

We hope you will be watching Project Blue Ocean Phoenix as it progresses in the coming weeks.
