What shop is that and in what are are you located? So if I ever hear of anyone seeking training in your vicinity, I can send them your way. Do you teach all skills midwater?
to be more clear. those six nights are done either one night/week for 6 weeks, or two nights a week for 3 weeks. we do the odd weekend course on special request. i try to teach all my students in the horizontal diver position. not all instr at our shop do. i also encourage neutral buoyancy of course but am not fanatical about it. i cannot refuse to certify a student if they can't do all their skills while remaining neutral and horizontal.
