Thanx for the offer for shark re-pel. I will definately look how to make those little explosive capsules!
Generally for your cert, you have a few 'classroom' sessions watching boring videos and learning common sense (ie do not take the regulator out of your mouth unless you have suddenly sprouted gills). Then you do basic skills like clearing a flooded mask and buddy breathing, etc in a pool. then you do those same skills out in the ocean (usually 4 dives total in the ocean, 2 per day). It can be a little tedious but it's important stuff. Overall it is NOT hard to get your cert if you pay attention.

woot woot..........
