I guess the next question would be, do you think the quality of dive instruction suffers because of pure economics?

Pool rental is $$
& therefore any remedial classes/smaller class sizes/ individual time with the instructors would cost the DS $/ limits the time spent of each subject area?

As for the "experienced" guys, what I don't understand is a certain reluctance to actually say & show what an appropriate frog kick + it's applicable variations are for the a particular site or training class. Just yelling at someone and saying "fin properly" or "do a bloody Frog Kick in the wreck" doesn't help. Is it too embarrassing for someone to ask, or teach technique at this stage? Then when should it be taught?


& for some who are preoccupied with lowering their SAC rate and extending their dive time, wouldn't proper finning techniques help immensely in that direction? Similar to swimming, when you want to improve your time, you go to Technique Clinic to make sure you got it right, and can be the most efficient in the water, then it's practice practice.
