    I took pictures of some of my students when, in my opinion, it was safe for me to do so. I taught them how to swim, taught them their skills sets, have watched them practice from day one, and know them underwater better than they do.
    At the end of their checkout dive, if they asked me to, I would have no problem with it.

    I wouldn't even take my camera with me on a fun dive if I was diving with someone whose skill level I was unsure of and wasn't completely confident with. In an ideal world, it would be great on a basic course to have a trained safety diver for each student, the instructor, an assistant instructor, and then a videographer shooting feedback video to be viewed later in class for training purposes ... then you could have a still photographer and possibly another videographer for the souvenir stuff. Would require a lot of volunteers though.
