I'd like to start a list of at least 101 things you can practice in the pool.
1. Remove weight belt
2. Replace weight belt
3. Remove mask
4. Swim without mask
5. Replace mask
6. Fin backwards
7. Hover in bud a position
8. Hover horizontal
9. Remove bc
10. Replace bc


Ok-your turn, I'd like some advanced skills and good buoyancy drills especially!
 
All of the previous skills horizontal in midwater. Kneeling while doing them does not count.
Buddy breathing
Panicked diver rescue
Unconscious diver from depth
Helicopter turns
no mask swim
Buddy breathing swim
No mask air share swim

Course these are all OW skills I teach. I'll have to get back to you on those I offer in AOW.

19 Hover upside down
20 Regulator recovering
21 Frog kick

26 Kicking with one fin
27 Kicking with no fins

You said things you can practice...not skills. I don't care whether you brush your teeth horizontal and mid water or not.
 
Awareness? I would like a video of you (with the spiky orange hair) practicing that skill!
 
Forwards rolls
backwards rolls
search patterns
Breathe off your bc inflator for half an hour while maintaining neutral bouyancy.
take the tank off your bcd and swim around with your tank under one arm breathing of the reg while maintaining neutral buoyancy
get a big group of 6 or so divers sharing one regulator while maintaining neutral buoyancy
 
Back kick
Line drills (w/ anchors)
 
Awareness? I would like a video of you (with the spiky orange hair) practicing that skill!

Don't go making fun of my spiky hair. Last guy that tried to make a video of me wasn't aware of the dangers, got a little to close and can now do this.
