There seems to be a real attitude among some divers towards classes. They just don't want to endure them and get all pissy that we have to accommodate them as well as the seasoned divers.

Seems to me we (divers) should be doing all that we can to support new divers instead of bitching. That pipeline supports the continued operation of boats, shops, manufacturers, etc. that we all rely on.

That said, some thoughtful planning and coordination can be beneficial to all parties. My general experience is that forethought is an unfortunately rare commodity in this world.

Hah---I bet the Seakeeper does the trick eh? Seakeeper Web Site

Just like most problems in life. You can fix them if you throw enough money at them.
The SeaKeeper is kind of amazing. I'm sure the new boat will eventually get one.

Most of the classes in Palm Beach County where I dive, Boynton Beach, Palm Beach, Jupiter, do their first 2 check out dives at the Blue Heron Bridge and their 3rd and 4th dives off one of the charter boats. Since the dives are drift, the classes disappear after they jump and are generally back on the boat well before I return. Classes do not affect my diving in the slightest and I am glad to applaud at the end of the trip for the newly certified divers.
