This is sort of like PPB for divers, only its for instructors who didn't learn it prior to, or during their ITC? Thanks for filling the gap.

Sorry but you lost me .... what is PPB?

 

[Thalassamania]

Sorry, Peak Performance Buoyancy.

 

[DiveNav]

thanks ... I had difficulty associating Peak Performance Buoyancy to Underwater Communications for Instructors ... I think they are a bit different

 

[Thalassamania]

I think that they are very different, except they both fill the same niche, providing instruction in things that the target audiences should have mastered in their earlier training. Again, thanks for identifying the problem and providing what appears to be a quality solution.

I was curious, so downloaded the outline from PADI's site.
It is a product-specific PADI distinctive specialty, geared toward using OceanReef's FFM and comm device.
It covers other methods of communication only in a historical context, showing (for example) only six hand signals.

Yes indeed.

..... showing (for example) only six hand signals.

Those 6 hand signals are the ones used by OCEANREEF in their course in subject.
Their course ... their outline
