Diver's Encyclo-MediaEverything you ever wanted to know about recreational scuba diving at your fingertips."Encyclo-media" you won't find this term in any dictionary, but consumers will be able to find this engaging new product on store shelves. Developed for the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI) by Dive Science and Technology (DSAT), this multimedia version of the book, The Encyclopedia of Recreational Diving, will be the most all-inclusive, interactive program covering recreational scuba diving out on the market. With a hybrid disc that is compatible with IBM and Macintosh systems, combined with an entertaining and captivating format, the Encyclo-media allows underwater enthusiasts, as well as non-divers, the chance to discover scuba diving in a user-friendly environment. Building on the existing book version of The Encyclopedia of Recreational Diving, the multimedia version has the added impact of self-guided virtual reality tours of a recompression chamber and an underwater environment, an extensive Evolution of Diving section that highlights dive pioneers and important dates in diving history, live science experiments performed, a link to www.padi.com for current events and updates, an interactive Diving Knowledge Workbook and many other convenient features. Additions built into the multimedia version will complement the subject matter in the existing book, which includes The Chemistry and Physics of Diving, The Physiology of Diving, Dive Equipment, The Aquatic Realm and The Evolution of Diving (formally The Future of Diving). A new section, Discover the Possibilities, is being added to promote the sport of scuba diving, continuing education and careers in the dive industry. For more than 30 years, PADI has set the standard for quality, fun and excellence in diver education. More divers participate in PADI programs than any other, making PADI the most recognized and respected diver credentials in the world.
