What can I do to improve my air consumption? How much weight should I take? And if I&#8217;d like to learn more, what would be the best next course?   <br \/>You should be prepared for this and have a really good understanding of all areas of diving theory. Of course, not everyone needs to know everything perfectly; you&#8217;ll certainly have some topics that interest you more than others. That&#8217;s good: become a specialist in one area, whether it&#8217;s Deco, marine biology, equipment and simple repairs, dive medicine, or another field. And make sure you have at least a solid basic knowledge in all areas.<br \/>As an Instructor, this becomes even more important. You need to be able to explain things to divers in the different courses at a higher level, and you are allowed to directly teach Science of Diving. In that case, the content really needs to be solid.     <\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>Refresh your theory<\/h3>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;3_5,2_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;3_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Here you will find plenty of links to materials that will help you refresh and expand your knowledge.<br \/>If you want to know where you currently stand, you can take our Diving Theory &#8211; Pro Check Quiz.
