In November I will be hopefully immersing myself in warm tropical waters with abundant marine life. However, I have only dived twice in the last 7 years, so obviously I need a refresher course. I also have a new U/W video camera and will have a new Oceanic Veo 100 dive computer, which sums up to a bunch of things to get used to. My guess is that the video camera stays topside until both me and my instructor are comfortable. I have yet to take delivery of the computer, but I understand that Oceanic provides online instruction. Finally I need to have my gear serviced and checked.
However, before entering the water on a PADI refresher/review course, I would like to go through some online videos to 'spruce' myself up prior to setting up my gear and entering the water on the training course. I checked out YouTube. Some of the Scuba training videos are truly dreadful; some are amateurish; some are plainly wrong (holding breath while passing the primary regulator instead of first using the Octopus); and some are disjointed and incomplete. I gave up after a while.
So here's the question: Do any of you have a favourite set of instruction videos that you would recommend, and could you provide URL links please?
