I'm not sure exactly when the ability to understand and cogently discuss analogies - that are by definition never 100% exactly the same as the comparative situation - was bred out of the human genome, but it has surely happened.

I tell open water students the real benefit to advanced open water is exposure to different types of diving, 5 dives with an instructor and building in the skill set they learn in open water. I had a student that I had for open water get taught AOW by another instructor, come up to me at the quarry and I asked him how it wax going, he told me that PPB was a wasted dive since the instructor didn't add anything above what he learned in OW. I told him that the instructor was teaching to standards, but I feel that since buoyancy( other than breathing) is the skill you use on every dive, I spend more time on it and make sure they understand the concepts, and how their kicking, breathing and weighting affect them, so they are a more confident OW diver. Every class is about what the instructor puts into it regardless of agency.

I was going to get the Master SCUBA Diver card to pick up chicks at the bars, but then I found out that my Rolex Sea Dweller does a much better job.
Teehee.
