A few suggestions
The course was very well-structured. I would just suggest a few ideas to make it even better:
1) Allow the user to add a labelled bookmark. This will help to review certain important concepts, and also to quickly bring up a page when asking an instructor.
2) After I submit my answer in a review problem, I am shown a feedback that mentions the topic name. It would help a lot to have turn that topic name into a link that will open the topic in a separate tab.
3) Some of the topics discussed near the beginning of the course are really not relevant there. For example, how to buy things, or the difference between yoke and DIN. Those things start making sense only after some amount of hands on experience. So moving them toward the end of the course might be a better idea.

Diving Dreams Come True with Alihuras…
Diving Dreams Come True with Alihuras Rasdhoo!
Seriously, if you're thinking about diving in the Maldives, especially in Rasdhoo, you have to check out Alihuras Rasdhoo Dive & Excursion. I recently got my Open Water Dive certification with them, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience – way better than I even hoped!
These guys are total pros, but in the best, most approachable way. From the moment I started my course, their professionalism shone through. Everything was super clear, safe, and their gear was top-notch. My instructors were incredibly patient and made learning all the skills feel easy and fun. They really made sure I was confident and comfortable every step of the way.
What really sets them apart is how helpful and friendly they are. It wasn't just about getting certified; they genuinely cared that I had a great time and understood everything. They're always there with a smile, whether it's helping with gear or just sharing cool facts about the marine life around Rasdhoo.
And honestly, you don't just feel like a customer – you feel like part of their diving family. The team creates such a warm and welcoming vibe, making every dive feel like an adventure with friends. That personal connection makes all the difference.
Whether you're new to diving like I was, or you're already certified, Alihuras Rasdhoo is the place to go. They made my Open Water journey unforgettable, and I can't wait to dive with them again!

The Pearl divers PADI Dive Center, Unawatuna
The Pearl divers staff,service and the overall experience far exceeded for our expectations. My diving Instructor Mr.Rushan was carefully guided me on the course understanding my strength & weaknesses.I recommended him as one of the best Instructor. Such a amazing diving experience at Nilaveli, Trincomalee, Sri Lanka.

The whole staff at Sandals did a great job making it an incredible experience!!!!!
