Scott, > How did they pass the class without knowing how to use a set of tables? I actually explained the tables to my OWD instructor. No shit! He just couldn't do it. And told the students for the same reason that the first piece of equipment to buy was a computer. (Of course the ones he sold.) Reason for me not to buy one. > However, this is also the fault of the people wanting to *try* diving. They > don't want a good, solid course, as this would cost a good deal of money, >$500 per head, + gear. People want to learn and get their C-card in > one weekend, for $99.00. Its a market, and its going to be addressed. And, they can be heavily overweight, can smoke during class, prior to and after dives (this is FACT, Joe), can have cardio problems. It's okay if they cannot even swim 400 yds, since (to quote an instroketor, who said the following 3 years ago standing 2 meters away from me) "that is even difficult for me"!!! This guy (no prove, but very likely) certified a diving challenged lady just because she owned a travel agency. He did that during a private OW session that might never have happened.
