My wife and I are diving today because of a Club Med resort course taken at Turks and Caicos in 2002 with a calm, encouraging, excellent instructor. I think the real answer to some of the questions about resort courses is the same as applies to beginning scuba instruction in general--it is a much better experience on all counts with an excellent instructor.
And, by the way, we did a repeat of the course the following year at the same place, but with an altogether indifferent instructor. We did not care at that point because we were already solidly rooted in the right way of doing things from the prior excellent instructor. Nevertheless, the between-instructor difference is one of the major reasons we decided to become formally certified and to strike out on our own.
