I would say it's pretty standard based on my own experience...I got certified in 3 days in Maui...no classroom time, no pool time, it was basically, watch the tape, here's the gear, lets hit the water. My 4th day and first certified dive was the back wall of Molokini crater. I thought it was the most awesome day ever...Now I look back and think that is was freakin' nuts. Good news is that I had no problems, and it was probably the dive that hooked me for life.
