While team teaching an OW course this summer I was at the LDS as the students were picking up their rental gear for check out dives:
Student: Is there anything else that I need?
Store Owner: You'll need some more lead (confined water taught in pool, OW in great lakes means more noeproene
Student: Oh yeah, that's right - as we go deeper we need more lead
Store Owner and me at the same time: WHAT??
After a short discussion with this prospective student it was decided that he wasn't ready for the check out dives just yet.
