I was taught that in order to count a dive as a "real" dive, you need to be in open water at a minimum depth of 15 feet for 15 minutes. This is the standard that I have been holding myself too, although my dives are at least 3-4 times that in length and depth.
Does anyone count pool dives towards their overall dive tally?
Do certifying agencies have different standards for this?
Most pools are only 8'-14' max depth and of course are not open water. I seem to recall a thread in the past where there were some that counted their pool dives.
