With Walters informative article out there comparing the top three instructional courses PADI, YMCA and NAUI, and with going through one of those highlighted classes right now I needed to pose a question to the board to get some opinions.
How Much Time Is Enough?
I know Ill receive some traditional answers: Skill completion, Comfortable, etc. but we are currently doing private lessons and I don't think the time we have scheduled is adequate.
Here's our schedule:
Sunday/last Sunday: 1st day of class/4hrs.pool time
Sunday/2-24: 2nd day of class/4-5 hrs pool time
Sunday/3-10: 3rd day of class/4-5 hrs pool time
Sat/Sun 3-16: OWC Fla Springs (2 day OWC)
Total Pool Time: 12-15hrs.
Honestly, even if we do our skills (good) in one day, I believe inorder to feel comfortable, and perfect our skills we need atleast 6 class/pool sessions before our OWC. That would give us between 24-30 hrs. of pool time, skill time, etc.
Back to the question: HOW MUCH TIME IS ENOUGH?
I need the board here. I don't want to breeze through this course to obtain a cert card which im not mentally or physically prepared for even though we can do the skills.
Please comment.
