I have been diving for over 20 years and I still remember my first breath on SCUBA. I remember the problem I had and some of the students in the class and the problems they had. The P.A.D.I. Open water course is one of the most fun courses out there as an instructor. I love when you see the wheels turn and the light turn on when they all of a sudden see what you are saying. Since the start of E-learning the class has been made much easier for the student and the instructor. Most divers’ people are nervous the first time they take a breath underwater, but 20 seconds after their first breath they are hooked, just like I was. By the end of the course they are ready to dive every weekend and I really hope they take the next step in becoming a well rounded diver.
