I think that statement is full of shit.

None of it will help you in the deep end of the pool - and as JJ noted - having the lower hatch shut on you and four other guys, is shall we say, interesting. Especially when the water starts coming in.

The first and main part of this course is mental - just like most of the SF courses - then closely followed by physical.

And I just finished up my degree with a 3.789 average and I don't think of myself to my peers as anything but average - nothing special.
