Not counting the academics, stamina test, or written tests. How much time did your DM take?
So far I've put in 6 pool sessions about 4 hours each (or 3 OW classes), plus one OW session (2 dives) that took over 4 hours. I am finding that there is more to teaching than just completing the minimum... and that the more time you spend with students the more issue, and situations would you see. Of course this doesn't count the dives I've made for my mapping project, which is still not good enough for the instructor's criteria.
