Is the instructor partly to blame if you fail your OWC?

Then you won’t be diving long, 2 years max.

This is spot on. I retrain warm water, divers including instructors, to dive our fantastic underwater world.

Really? Ive been certified since 2009 and still happily diving. The coldest water Ive touched is probably around 22C on the south side of Komodo and around Bali. Plenty of us fair weather divers around. Sure, I don't get hundreds of dives a year doing that, but I do enjoy almost every single dive with amazing viz and marine life in warm tropical waters.

Not really, no: we do see what we expect to see perfectly well. There is a name for this: The Invisible Gorilla, and the guys who came up with it got a Nobel for it.

Not quite. It was an Ig Nobel Prize.
