- Thats interesting I did my scuba course with PADI and never remember
- that being said. The third dive I ever did was to 60 feet. That dive
- was me 8 other novices and one instructor. I lost the instructor and
- swam arount for a while on my own then went up, I am certain I was at
- down at least 60ft.
-
- Another interesting thing about that course was they forgot to tell
- us how importand controlling your accent rate was. I read about it in a book
- and on the second dive (45ft) was the first to start up. I later found out
- I went up to quickly but the rest of the course all over took me.!
