I learned to dive in Thailand under the metric system. I also became a Divemaster, and an Instructor there... also using the metric system exclusively. Even as an American, I found it much easier to dive, and teach diving using the metric system instead on the Imperial System.
I'll be teaching this summer for a children's camp in America. I'm considering teaching the kids using the metric system. I feel that learning would be much easier, and most of the kids will probably not dive locally anyway once they are certified. They are much more likely to dive on holidays, and in places where the metric system is used anyway.
Any thoughts from the other instructors on the board?
