 Learning To Scuba Dive
In the early 1960s, diver training organizations assumed one could learn from classroom and pool training alone - all the knowledge and skills he'd need to dive safely, and open-water training was considered unnecessary.
Today, organizations require that every student complete at least four open-water training dives before certification is granted while everyone understands the need for open-water training, not everyone understands its purpose.
You might assume that open-water training is given to teach new skills, but you'll be asked to do very little in open-water that you haven't already done many times in the pool.
