Ken... though you didn't state it directly, the implication is that you don't beach dive in your basic OW class?!?!
Would this account for any of the really dangerous, stupid behavior we see at the beaches? The whole "we'll certify you without your ever getting through surf" concept scares me. I know you're in Beverly Hills and all, but this _is_ California.
Do you really certify people who've never made it through the surf??
Yeah, I know, it scares some people. But some people ought to be scared... it's better than being dead.
'Course, it does raise the question of what percentage of your clientele actually dive in California...
John
PS -- send me some movie starlets to dive with down here, wouldya... all the middle-aged ugly guys are getting boring! :-) [no offense, of course, to any of my dive buddies who are reading this!]
