Perhaps I Missed The Gist Of This
For those of you who might be considering taking the PADI Open Water Diver course, this is the instruction video you can look forward to...
Last night, chapters 1-2:
SoopahViv: omg the dvd is so cheesy
SoopahViv: the music, so bad
SoopahViv: flyyy through the waaater
SoopahViv: under the seeea
SoopahViv: there's lots of underwater high-fiving
SoopahViv: all divers are hotties
SoopahViv: and the male to female ratio is 1:3
SoopahViv: that's not fair!
SoopahViv: ooh the diver chick who looks like halle berry has a pink tank!
SoopahViv: i think some guy just copped a feel during an equipment check
Tonight, chapters 3-5:
SoopahViv: omg
SoopahViv: the doofus in chapters 1-4 of the video got the chicks in chapter 5
To save you several hours of cheesy video time, here is a one sentence synopsis of the DVDs: Scuba is so full of hot chicks that even doofuses can score.
Fortunately, this seems to apply only in warm tropical climates, where clear blue water and smiley people with perfectly coiffed scuba hair abound. In my class, where the dives take place in the chilly waters of Monterey, the male to female ratio is 3:1.
I think that gives me license to doofus.

I've only been to tropical climates once on a dive, but you're pretty much spot on for the ratio as far as I've ever seen. And nobody is attractive climbing out of the water after a real dive.
All in all, the time you get to be underwater makes the whole test, DVD, weird classroom stuff, learning strange charts and such absolutely worth it. A quick giant stride into crystal clear water and suddenly you're flying (it feels more like flying than swimming to me) through scenery that makes the best Discovery Channel cinematography look like a poor substitute.

What's that? Did I hear you say "fly"? Aw, man, as if that cheesy song wasn't already stuck enough in my head!
Flyyy through the waaater ... under the seeea!
I love the dive charts! They're like little puzzle decoders. :)
