I'm not sure HOW PADI (or whatever agency) can NOT teach gas management. Telling a student to start the ascent at 1000psi IS gas management. Telling a student to reach the surface with 500psi remaining is also gas management. Planning a dive involves gas management. How can anyone teach an OW class without covering these topics?
Gas management is an important part of diving. I can not image ignoring this skill.
Gas management was definitely covered in the PADI OW class I took, but that was over five years ago. I'd like to hear specifically how this was phrased, as it sounds dumber than sticks to even start to tell an instructor to ignore this aspect of diving.
