True story….2006 and at my dive center in AZ we had our first pool session. We had 2 gentleman from India/Pakistan get set up, jump in the pool and literally freaked out when we took off the gear to do the swim and tread water portion. They had no idea they had to “swim” to be a SCUBA diver. Walked away feeling pretty low for sure.

I did my PADI Open Water Diver training in the UK. I didn't find it fun nor easy. I hated every minute of it but completed the course and earnt my c card. As my wife paid for it i thought i should finish the whole course.

Nothing like first hand experience! Scuba is so cool!

Is the continuous contact to the line during the CESA no longer in the standards?
