Not necessarily. But if you want to do a good dive course, the course
will take a lot of time, a lot of dives and a lot of instructor time.
For the instructor time and the dives you usally pay, in one way or the
other.

Right. It is quite funny how they all try to cut edges, save time and
money, do a quicker course not so many dives ...
I Even caught myself  trying do do it and I should know better. Just to
save some bucks and hours, that is crazy.

Right again. No dive course can provide a brain.

Greetings, Jens.
