Hello all,
So I am having a small debate with one of the instructors I DM for. We have a student that started OW 6 months ago, then winter hit and she wanted to wait till spring to start again. in this time, she lost 45lbs. Now we are having a little issue rising up on her. Her final check out dive is tomorrow, I suggest to the instructor to put on a crotch strap, and move on. He stated that she has never been trained on a crotch strap, and need to be, before he put one on her. I said, she is coming to the shop wo pick the gear up today, tell her about, and move forward. No, No No, she needs to be trained.
Am I that off base in thinking its no big deal? Maybe I just do not remember my OW water nerves anymore.
Thanks,
