I would look for a new instructor, then try to finish it up. This guy doesn't sound like he is doing you any favors rushing through things and combining dives.

You shouldn't be in a rush. Rushing is why you had trouble. If I were you, I would not complete this course. I would look for a much better instructor (yours is incompetent) and take the entire class over again. To find a better instructor, interview instructors you might consider hiring.

Hi all,
I started my open water training last week. We had rushed through everything, did one classroom session and wrote the exam, One pool session and got all that done. Then we were scheduled to do the ocean dives, we we're supposed to combine the four dives into two. Anyways well not ideal it was going well until the last open water dive (technically dives three and four).
.....the instructor could have done better , however he might have been under a lot of pressure from the center, .....
