There are a number of standards for open water check-out dives. How many tanks, how many entries, how many set-ups and so forth. And then there is reality. How many actual air cylinders were used in completing your open water check-out dives?

One. We were given a full set of rental gear for the three weeks of our course and had to take care of it. That included filling the tank for each dive and pool session. For our beach dives we were at Diver's Cove in Laguna Beach, CA. We filled them at the shop one block away. For our final dives we were on a boat at Catalina and filled them onboard.
