I am going on holiday in a couple of months with a friend who isn't a diver yet but is planning to become one while we are there. I have seen an option to do PADI Open Water as a 'fast-track' course, the idea being that you do the theory in advance using a CD-ROM, thereby saving a day on the course.
This sounds like a good idea if you are on holiday and you want to get wet asap, but I am not sure if she will learn as much if she isn't with an instructor? Although I am not terribly experienced yet (AOW 30 dives), I guess I should still be able to help her with the basics if there is something she don't understand. Has anybody done this course, or know someone who has, and what are your recommendations?
Thanks,
