Divemaster demostration quality skills - passed

Yesterday we've completed the demonstration quality skills part of the divemaster training. It was strange to practice demonstrating the '20 basic skills' - normally you don't think about each step of the skill, you just do it. But now you had to think and emphasize each and every step of the activity (eg. mask clearing), so that it would seem easy to perform. I know it is easy, I've done it a thousand times, but it was completely different to make it seem easy. Moreover you have to score at least 3 point (out of 5) for each skill (you can score better on some and worse on others, the mean has to be at least 3 points). Nevertheless it's done, I even had quite a good score:) Below is a video of an instructor doing 'mask removal and recovery' in demonstration quality.
