RE: ymca scuba?
Try a PADI or NAUI class. There are required skills you need to learn, but "survival of the fittest" is not the way to learn SCUBA. That was the philosophy in the early days and it doesn't work. By the same token, getting your OW cert in a couple of days is not the way to go either. You need to do a reasonable amount of work and cover basic skills, but you shouldn't hate it when you're done. If it hurts, you ain't doing it right. :doh
