Big Plans and Big Disappointment

[PfcAJ]

The "Class report" From Daniel Riordan's Cave DPV workshop that I read was pretty impressive. That course seems to be pretty comprehensive, starting with relatively straightforward dives and ending with multi-scooter multi-stage dives and "scenario" dives.

I am not sure if it's yet (or going to be) an official class or if you can get it in Florida but it does seem to teach to a very high standard from what I could see.

Can you post a link or a "where to find"? I'd like to read it.

As far as I know, this workshop is still offered in MX as the GUE materials are still being fleshed out for a "cert"

5days, multi-scooter, multi-stage, huge emphasis on awareness - since in MX you can go a gawd awful long way and have tons of gas but rapidly have no clue how to exit.

I think so.

I suspect there are quite a few divers worldwide doing these dives, a few capable of being mentors one nugget of wisdom at a time over months and many dives together, and scant few (<dozen) who are good enough themselves to actually observe someone else and "teach" that much in 5 or 6 days on the trigger.

I can whip you up a card tho!

The link Richard posted is the same one I had in mind.
A really nice read.

The cave 3 class report in Quest is a good one, as well.
