Ahh! Yeah, right. I get it now. Good for Andrew!jonnythan:
OEX2 is right. There will be better divers in the future.
Someone seems to have their marketing skills in order! :rofl:

Sure. But the instructor will just toss some more lead into your DIRL approved WI BC pockets.OE2X:Since it's a "lite" course do you think they will need extra weight and have buoyancy issues?

As I understand it, it's pretty much like the Fundamentals class was before GUE made it a pass/fail. Personally, I like the workhops because they take they stress out of passing and "can" be more condusive to learning. Oh, and yes, 5thd-X does have two very good GUE instructors who are in good standing with GUE.

They went their seperate ways about a month ago.jonnythan:
Andrew makes some good points in support of this course and I would like to hear other folks feelings about it.
1. that the high failure rate of the fundamentals is largely due to task loading of new and unfamilir equipment
2. that the object of the course is to teach you how to perform these new skills and mastery will come with practice.
I presonally think this looks like a good program although I think some treat fundies as a yard stick of how good a diver they are.
