I also believe that if you can learn in cold water with less than the best viz. it makes you a better diver when the water is 80 deg, with 200 ft of viz

I agree with this statement but don't, for a minute, agree that four certification dives is the same as learning to dive. It's an extremely small subset of the learning process so there's no reason... Anyway, it doesn't much matter as long as you're not discouraged to continue by any difficulties encountered during your initial dives.

Livingstone -- think about how many people get certified in the tropics as vacation divers, then return to perfectly good cold dark and muddy lakes that they will never once dip their toes into, then ask yourself why that is..?

On the otherhand if a new diver learns in and more importantly likes the local dive spot, they he/she will be extstatic once the opportunity presents itself to dive blue water or a gin clear Florida spring... How do I know this..? Because I just so happen to speak from experience, that's how. Hell, Bill dives cold black water and navigates by braille and loves it!
