Pretty close to a recent discussion but though I'd bound it a little more. Can everyone make it to SDI intermediate free diver?

Some of the req's:
Minimum of four consecutive static breath-holds without any hypoxic symptoms minimum 3:00.
Eight constant ballast dives reaching minimum 25m/82ft using proper entrance and exit.
Eight free immersion dives to 25m/82 feet.

I have leftover GI Bill so the wife and I are interested in traveling from NoVA to somewhere we can learn free diving. Locally we're not going to make it past 60' Unfortunately Veterans Affairs bundles both the basic and intermediate courses into one so I'm concerned about not finishing and not getting reimbursed. We've both done pool free diver course but have concerns about equalizing or being able to make the time.
