I think this idea of being able to impart the required knowledge is enough for an instructor is unfortunately not enough...

Unfortunately the OW course is not conducted entirely in a class room.

For instance I don't suppose any of us would expect an instructor to suddenly panic because the vis got kicked to crap and bolt for the surface leaving students at the bottom or have problems with a drysuit and end up doing a bouyant ascent and then refuse to go back down to the students because it freaked them out....

so how do you weed these people out?
