Pros and cons of Scuba Exam app for iPhone and iPad

Scuba Exam app good for

Thanks for the app. For me it was a good help to get fit for the PADI OWD test. Today I passed the test with only 2 misstakes :)

Very help full as a refresher after being away from diving for awhile, but has a few errors. Such as in dive table examples in feet uses the numbers from the meter example.

It has lots of info and is quite helpful. However I find it frustrating how many times its crashed on me after doing a 10min quiz. Without the results or answers from the test it makes it hard to find out what I have to study more.

In Canada, the hydrostatic test for tanks is required every 5 years & not every year as the answer states. Hence, the correct answer should be that it varies from country to country. Also, when you have pain in your ears on the way down, you should slow down &/or ascend a few feet then try equalizing again; the answer states "equalize" which one does whether you have pain or not. Regardless, a good way to refresh your dive theory since most of us dont think about it unless were instructors.

Very good. I like the fact too that you can choose which dive tables as i am NAUI,PADI,TDI as well as c-cards from other agencies

New version is great. • Some first-class improvements, including materials and quizes for different certifying outfits, like NAUI. • Added bonus: dive-table problems/solutions. • Great way to review the fundamentals, and stay sharp.

Some bad moments

Crashes frequently at the end of quizzes. Metric conversion is often inaccurate. Questions are not as clear as those in the Padi exams.

Great app to test yourself prior to taking the certification test.

A really great way to go over book material and test yourself!

Im taking my open water diver course with Padi and I love this app, it allowed me when I had a few minutes to take the test and see how I would do. I became very familiar with the questions and learned a lot. I think it was a great app Im glad I got it.

A must for diving refreshers and new divers. I would love more dive table questions.

Great quiz and condensed version of the open water certification book. Best scuba training app on iTunes.
