I signed up for the rescue course and I have done the pool portion without a problem, it was tiring and difficult but I did it. Tomorrow we have the OW portion of it where we repeat the skills. I only have about 20 dives under my belt and we shore dive in cooler water (50-60f) in San Diego. We go though the waves and swim about 300 yards before we drop down. The forecast is for waves 4-6 feet that day. The instructor said it makes it a little more "Challenging". The majority of people who dive here usually only go when the waves are 1-2 feet. I am nervous about doing tiring activities towing people in such harsh conditions. I dont think it is safe, as it is difficult to enter and exit the surf taking care of yourself let alone doing strenuous activities. I already had to reschedule this class once and the shop is known to put ppl out there just because on any given weekend they will have 100-200 students there in the morning. Do I tell the instructor this isnt safe and I would not even dive in these conditions? I know I will be getting pretty nervous in the water with the swells hitting me and getting tossed around. Am I over reacting and should i just do it since I paid for it? Honestly I trust myself more than the instructors.
