"It's just that the CD or other medium should be able to make the live instruction more efficient and effective. "

I was certified before the popularity of this medium so I can't speak about the quality of CD's. I do agree with you wholeheartedly that the system could fall flat on it's face without student diligence yet it may work for many peoples lifestyle and make the instruction more efficient and effective. Everything from setting up the gear through proper buoyancy skills can be visually demonstrated including what's involved with mask clearing, regulator recoverery, ditch and don, proper weighting, etc. The ability to visualize the skills prior to taking the plunge is beneficial IMO, especially for newly certified divers. If the CD's aren't any good then they should be improved.
