Here is something that will come as a shock to many frequent SB posters.
Back in 1960, Al Tilghman and some other veterans of the Los Angeles County dive instruction program decided to take the cause of scuba instruction country wide. They convened meetings of people who were teaching scuba all over the country, and they used those meetings to train instructors and form the agency that became known as NAUI. The most important of those training sessions was held in Houston. When NAUI was formed, Tilghman became its first director, and he as NAUI instructor #1. A quarter century later, he and his son collaborated on a history of NAUI.
In that history, he reflected on those first sessions and the quality of the instructors who formed the first set of NAUI dive instructors. He reported that one of the veterans believed that every modern open water dive class was producing beginning divers with better skills than most of that first set of instructors.

Likely you kept seeing the same 6 repetitively all week.
And their "nieces" who are likely to sunbathe topless.
