This is not something most folks will ever do out on a reef in the middle of the South Pacific. Of course, there are times when shedding the gear and handing it up to the boat operator is the normal thing to do before getting back aboard, so pay attention. This weekend you turn theory into practice. It is a fun filled weekend and one where you begin to hone in your skills. The final phase is two parts.
First part is the written final exam.
This is not really too hard. Study and understand the information. Do watch out for some of the trick questions. I think though that despite the seemingly unfair trick questions, you should be able to think clearly and quickly under pressure so do not panic and do your best. After that final it is time for some open water dives that will take you through certification.
