Evidently the overweight instructor has not stayed current in theory on the
probability of women vs men and getting bent. 

I would dare say that the instructor would have a high tendency towards
getting bent on a lot of the dives we do whereas a fit lady would breeze
through the dive profiles smooth as silk

just proves that for some a little knowledge is worse than no knowledge (the
instructor)
