So I just finished the Advanced Underwater Acoustics and Propagation course and I've got to say, it was pretty cool. I mean, I learned a lot about how sound works underwater and how to use that knowledge to do some really useful stuff. The course was pretty well-organized, with lots of videos and quizzes to help you stay on track. One thing that really stood out to me was the section on acoustic communication systems - it was really interesting to learn about how underwater devices can communicate with each other using sound waves. The instructor was also super knowledgeable and responsive to questions, which was a big plus. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this course to anyone interested in underwater acoustics.
