Thread: Dive Master Requirements

  1. #1

    Default Dive Master Requirements

    Hello all you fine OWSIs out there. I am scheduled to take Dive Master in a couple of months and wonder what is the swimming requirement. I believe it is 400 meters and I have no concerns with that BUT, I have also read somewhere that the 400 meter swim only merits 2 points if done in 3 minutes. Is that correct? That seems like olympic type speed to me.

    How come we gotta use at least 10 characters? I am trying to break my habit of being verbose and you are not helping.

    You mean 10 characters in your screen name? Can't be that as there's no requirement...

    It must be an instructor insider joke!

    nope, I tried to answer your question with the 4 letter word "PADI" but was given the message that my reply must contain 10 characters.

    .........or you can throw spaces between the last letter and a period. The Administrator can reduce the number of required characters or simply turn off that silly bug.
