Third dive done.
I think the dive center I picked is not trustworthy. They advertise the open water course with 5 dives but the first 2 dives share the same bottle so in reality you get 4 bottles, 3 dives + 2 half dives.
We have not finished our course yet but for the dive of today we were 7 "experienced" divers + me and my GF + instructor. So basically almost no attention from the instructor and far from the 4:1 ratio. I mean is it even allowed to go 9:1 with unlicensed people? Luckily my GF did great this time and thank goodness we paid close attention to each other isntead of relaying on the instructor because we almost runned out of air. At the end of the dive after 45 minutes we had 15 bar at the very most.
Maximum depth was 15,5m it has been a bit of a circus with 3 people having issues with their gear and stopping all the time, or other people bunching up to see a the sparce wild life at the rocks.
Is it possible to fill a complaint to padi? Doesn't seem the kind of organization who cares about anything else that isn't money.
