If you can't learn to dive in a weekend, why would a non-swimmer learn? And if they dive too much, too soon, they might buy gear somewhere else at less than retail. So teach them, outfit them, card them, and forget them. After all, when they try do a boat dive, you will be there to answer their questions, right?
OK, I am sorry I am getting into the PADI bashing and I promissed myself I wouldn't. It is the patch humor that got to me. Seahunt's lis tof desired patches, the wheel of fortune analogy, it was all too much and I lost control.

P.S. I was kidding about the benefits of instant divers.
