My plan is to leave it for last, then go into it knowing it is the last thing I need to complete this marathon journey, then I'll be finished. Being done and knowing I'll be a DM when I finish 400 yards is all the motivation I need.
Finished the water stamina and 800 yd. snorkel. Will do the Tired diver "tow" next pool session, followed by the 400 yd. swim and gear exchange. Still have the written exams, mapping and OW herding to complete. Basically I have a lot to do in the next 3 weeks!
I'd recommend the push rather than the tow - more streamlined.SharkDZ:

Thanks! That's pretty much what I was planning on. Would you recommend paddle fins or splits? I'm thinking the paddles for power, but my Bio XTs are good for straight line cruising.
I'm not a fan of splits at all. Use which ever you find best for face-down surface swims.
Cool, thanks for the suggestions.

Completed Discover Local Diving last weekend. Did okay, but I had six divers in 10' vis, and the instructor kept taking off with the divers. At our turn point, I stopped and waited for everyone to catch up and only saw four of the six. I swam the direction we came from looking for the other two, but I couldn't find them. I surfaced the other four and went back to get the two plus instructor. I still don't know how they got around me, but they just kept going through our turn point.
That's all I can think. Anything I'm missing?
