Mine wasn't as busy as yours. I went for a dive at Windmill Beach with Stephen Bardwell (another SBer) and his dad on Saturday. The vis was surprisingly good, I was expecting a bit of pea soup, the water was a 'warm' 17C and the south-easter hadn't really got going, so it was a very pleasant dive. We practiced a few skills and then just did a chilled out tour of the site. The jellyfish in False Bay are a bit crazy at the moment, though. Both Box and Compass Jellyfish. I've never seen so many. I've seen pretty dense swarms of them before, but there were huge 'clumps' of them at on Saturday: packed really tightly together in one big lump of jellyfish. A little creepy, but interesting to see.
Good luck for the rest of the PADI Rescue Diver course. I enjoyed mine, but it was the first scuba course I've done where I was really physically exhausted afterwards. I don't recall getting any bruises, though, so perhaps I got an easy ride.
