Thank you for creating all the videos. I practices trim, weighting, finkicks at home after watching your and other videos and it took some time (5 Poolsessions and reviewing of the videos) and after that constant practicing but its pretty good now. But I also agree, instand feedback under water shortens the time a lot when you come to the point not even realizing the error you make while you are underwater. I always felt somehow wrong, cause I wanted to have all the information first, take my time to process it while practicing instead of the instructor tells you once and thats it. I dont trust something that just one person tells me, I always check and see if its for me. I turned up for my PADI AOWD fully prepared with navigation practiced while snorkeling, Backkick and my teacher didnt really knew what to do with me, especially in the boyancy part, I was forced to pivot when I was way past that level, your advanced boyancy and trim checks are much more helpful. So I really feel aknowledged when you say: Go practice and come prepared to learn more stuff! Now Im starting sidemount, setting up my tanks and regulators: watching the video "Ok, I got it", go to my tank... turn the video on again ^^ Like you always say: practice makes permanent. I really dont get the "Hello, youre the teacher, tell me everything!" mentality, I always come prepared in theory (and practice as far as its allowed), but maybe thats just me. I can imagine for some instructors a informed/misinformed student can be annoing.
Very nice. During times like these at least we're all able to do part of our work online!
Absolutely!
