I will add some closure to this topic. I haven't done my DiveCon yet. Instead, my last daughter (of 5) worked on her PADI Jr. OW during February and March. Laura did fine, and the instructor asked that my wife and I watch during the first class.
She passed all the tests, and we went for her check-out dives in Florida during our Passover trip to Florida. On the boat each day, I sat at the other end and had nothing to do with her in the water, EXCEPT when I snuck up behind her and grabbed her leg. She took it well, didn't jump out of the water or anything.
Laura liked diving so much that she asked me to go once more before we returned home. So Sunday, we dove on the Sea Emperor. Again she did well under less than perfect conditions. She did get chilled and told me after that first dive that she was done for the day. A wise and mature decision.
I was very pleased and satisfied with Laura's training. Now, if I can only get her to do a dive with me here in Lake Michigan...
