dorkito, I do that with our OW students in the pool. It's a fun exercise.

When I watch BSAC, GUE, UTD, and DIR style divers
The more I read SB and see other divers the more IMHO training done on knees is building bad habits from the beginning. When I watch BSAC, GUE, UTD, and DIR style divers vs. the typical (insert your favorite mass-market rec scuba agency here) the more I want to emulate the style and grace of the former.
Whilst GUE/UTD certainly drink the kool aid, I've more of an impression that BSAC divers drink the tea...with a triple fried egg sandwich.
Give me two pool sessions if you're a non-diver or one if you're a diver. You won't be perfect, but you'll have the tools to get mostly there in another 10-20 dives.but this requires more time than the average diver gets to spend in the water over their lifetime.

I got told off during my sport diver course (bsac) for doing skills neutral and not on my knees. Didn't really care, kept doing it neutral.
