<font color='#0000FF'>Hi there Steve,
I personally don't think that you are pushing things at all, it is a fantastic plan and that your daughter will thank you for the amazing gift you will be giving her. My son learnt to dive when he was 10 and 2 years later is still loving it, and I must admit I really don't mind the shallow dips under swanage pier with him.
The only thing I would consider is whether you want to be in the classroom whilst on holiday, will it be better for her to do a referal course or even the whole course in this country. Luke completed all of his training in this country in a neoprene drysuit to boot and when we went to Florida he said that the diving experience was a whole lot better as he had a comparison to make between the two environment and also when he got back to Britian he knew what to expect from the diving as he had dived in it before. Obviously this will make no difference what so ever if you intend to be holiday divers, but hey, I am sure you and your family have a great time.
HTH
