From Aikidiver: What you’re doing by implementing this ’system’ is playing the odds! Stats for O/W divers continuing with their training is not great.
It’s a gamble either way; Our philosophy is to develop divers, not move gear. I personally give every new diver my e-mail and phone number and let them know I’ll dive with them anytime. The weekend after their checkout dives I encourage them to go with me to another local dive site to see a different place to dive. We encourage them to try to new types of diving by continuing with the AOW course.
It is much better to build a relationship than just to move gear, IMHO.
