how many dives / how much time for openwater checkout dives?

Um, I think it's a bit late to comment on things, although it appears the OP did manage to get a certification (considering he's now an instructor with several hundred dives).

(Incidentally, if you read this, adjuster-jd, have you done the scubacache in White Star Quarry? I logged a find on that this summer on my whirlwind tour up from Louisiana. It seems the only geocaching I get around to now is underwater or CITO events.)

Yo dude, try answering threads from this year. The op who was thinking of doing a referal for his open water is an instructor now! In the future it would be a good idea to look at the date of the last post (2003) before you enlighten us with your wisdom.

edit; cj beat me to it.
2nd edit; just for giggles, how did you get to page 225 of this forum?

Even funnier...

I was in this thread originally, as a relative n00b and I'm now an instructor with a couple grand in dives under my belt.

I love old threads!!

Get your cert dives done before you go, so you can enjoy Maui without having to stop and complete skills to throw you off track...

Um, shotthebreeze, you really ought to read the last post or two, not just the first post, before you reply.
