Other threads in THIS the NEW/TRAINEE divers forum got me to thinking about Open water dive training.
Would there be an arguement for deliberately overweighting a studentin their open water dive training (more tropical than temperate waters) so they are forced to put air in their bcd in tropical dive situations? -Ie keeping the affect of air in/out of BCD reasonably "dramatic" or crude so its noticeable to a novice.
Keeping with that thought the instructor needs to understand why he/she is overweighting so they are able to explain it to their student in clear simple terms towards the end of their training.
