Newbie: What questions should I ask?

already has mastered alot of the *major* hurdles. They would be the one group that I would think might have a better than average chance in a weekend course.

Getting ready to finally take my PADI certification course there are 4 diving centers in my area, I plan on visiting them over the weekend, what questions should I ask them? I know one center offer a two weekends course including the certification dives, the pre requisite is you got to read all material and watch either a tape or a DVD, I`m not too sure about this approach ... I`m totally new to Scuba dive (I did do alot of snorkel and spear fishing) Any comments are appreciated Thank you

Welcome to rec.scuba, ..., Mr X. Has anyone been rude to you yet?

Agreed. Of course, they would also be unlikely to ask such a question on rec.scuba either ;-).
