Ok, here's one on the web page: Of course, I was interested to
see whether the video tutorial was linked.

It took me a while to realize that it can be found, but only if one
guesses that "Documentation" is not only the heading of a sub-menu,
but a clickable link on its own, which happenes to be the only one
leading to the tutorial link. Maybe you can change this to be a little
more easy to find?

Regarding the Web page http://subsurface.hohndel.org/documentation/ -
it's strange how that page links to the "supported dive computer list"
and to the video, but not to the manual.
I'd propose to either make "Documentation" a menu-title, only,
removing the ../documentation/ page but listing all three of the
supported dive computer list, the manual and the video tutorial as
menu entries. Or have ../documentation/ actually link all documentation
components, just to be consistent.

Regarding the <video> embedding: Firefox renders the page a little
strange, as it cannot squeeze the width=960 video into the column
where it displays the player, the player overlaps with the other
columns in a strange fashion.
I'd suggest to either make the <video> window smaller - using something
like <video width="640" height="360" ...> or display the <video> window
on a page of its own, that does not use columns.
It may also be worthwhile to allow the user to choose between different
versions of the video, as in 1080p vs. 720p, (the relevant links are:

) and/or link to the archive.org overview page where people are
presented all the download options and formats:
http://archive.org/details/SubsurfaceVideoTutorial

Regarding the support for non-<video>-capable browsers: There is a
spurious "ZA" after the alternative text inside the <video> tag.
