the distinction between novice , novice ii practical reasons difference between hiring pool , travelling coast. novice diver complete 2 open-water dives possible, if not possible straight away (perhaps on winter) @ least have specific grade within club. lengthy , club-oriented novice syllabus replaced club diver , ocean diver syllabuses in late 1990s.
