Is the Discover Local Diving program considered a formal course?

True
False
Only for experienced divers
Only for beginners

The correct answer is: True

The Discover Local Diving program is designed to help divers become familiarized with specific local diving environments, but it is not typically classified as a formal course in the same way that certification courses are. This program does involve structured activities and guidance from a dive professional, aimed at enhancing divers’ comfort and understanding of local conditions. However, it is intended more as an introduction and orientation rather than a comprehensive training course that leads to certification. The emphasis on local conditions and the informal nature of the program separate it from formal training courses like those leading to Open Water Diver or Advanced Open Water Diver certifications. Thus, the statement that it is considered a formal course is not entirely accurate.
