Another Tradition Broken

A typical PADI Open Water course holds four dives over the course of two days. Or...two dives per day. But in typical GirlDiver fashion, we've asked WHY??
Oh, we're not talking about breaking standards and completing all four dives in one day...that would wear US out. We've looked at the comfort level of students doing surface intervals in sub-fifty degree temperatures in wetsuits and decided...it's just not fun.
And I'm at the point with GirlDiver that "if it's not fun, we're not doing it."
I certainly can't take the winter off and refuse to instruct would be divers wanting the GirlDiver experience...so there MUST be an easier way.
Enter the "dive a day" program. We're going to test out holding one dive per day over the course of two weekends. This way divers arrive in a dry wetsuit, do one dive, then strip the cold wetsuit off and exchange it for warm clothing. Rain, sleet, hail or snow...you'll not get in our way this year.
