I've always had a knack for picking things up quickly and remembering them from just being said and I'm at the "top of my class" via grade percentage but haven't spent any time studying. The courses are fast paced but the teachers are more than happy to answer any questions as your going. Bring your girl and…

The courses are fast paced but the teachers are more than happy to answer any questions as your going. Bring your girl and enjoy your time together while you still have some free time. Hope this helps!<br />

I am also very mechanically inclined. I have 4 years of High School autos under my belt and I also work on my my own cars and my friends' cars. I very good with my hands. I also have some college chemistry under my belt too, so I will pick up on all the gas laws right away. In my Scuba class we've been going over diving physiology ever since last august.

Okay well I am a very quick learner. I will have my advanced open water and open water certs for recreational diving by NAUI prior to going. I might have my night diver specialist cert too, depends how many night dives I get done over spring break. I am very good with my hands and very comfortable underwater.

How successful do you want to be? What is your commitment? How fast to you learn? How much previous diving experience do you have? Do you have ancillary skills that could stand improvment? Etc. I suppose you could squeek by with an hour a day-but wtf you're spending alot of $$ what do you want out of it?
