I'm wondering if it's a waste of money to take all of these classes. I'm on a very tight budget. Thanks!

Showing up for Fundies in a new to you drysuit and new to you doubles is not going to be productive. In fact its probably going to be exceedingly frustrating for you and your buddy's. I would discuss a path forward with your instructor. Something like:
Over the course of about 8-12 months.
- Drysuit
- Fundies in single tank
- Doubles with mentor
- Tech pass checkout for Fundies
I'm not quite sure what Rainer means about none of his classes spending any time on how to use a drysuit. Every Fundies class I have been involved in (including my own) spent a lot of time refining drysuit technique -- because it gives almost everyone trouble.
