Hey guys sorry to start a new thread but Ive got questions I need answered. Dive op is 3.5hours flying away and its an expensive toll call to call them
I AM doing my PADI Divemaster training starting Late June.
I understand the fitness requirements are
1)400m swim
2) 100m "tired" diver tow- both divers in full dive gear
3) 800m surface snorkel
4)15 minute "float' -last 2 with hands out of water
5)A gear swap underwater.
I do understand that each skill has a points structure.
My questions are
1 what is the points breakdown for these skills? Ie at what time break do the skills get each points level.
2) as a rule the stamina skills done one straight after the other or with a breather?
3) how does the gear swap points breakdown? Ie on what basis.-someone answered that
4)For the training do you need to go to a standards gear setup -ie weightbelt and octi/regulator?
5)what did you do to get yourself to the proper fitness level?
6) Based on your own experience what part of the DM training was the most difficult?--ie stuff to study up on in advance.
Genuinely appreciate all or any advice from instructors /divemasters.
