MHK told us this weekend that his in-water limit is 6 divers. I'm sure if you get the people they'll find additional assistance. But I just thought I'd let you know.

Guys and girls,
Thanks for the interest, nad as you are aware we are setting up a class in the Raliegh area. JJand I did a class their last year and it was a great success. About 3 weeks ago I did a study for the US Navy at Duke University, and Gene Hobbs who runs many of the studies at Duke and who also attended last years DIR-F class in Raliegh asked me about setting up another class through Scott at Down Under in association with Duke. We have had some very preliminary discussions about doing a DIR-F class, and then using Duke to do doppler testing for research purposes. I emphasize that we are in the VERY early stages of that phase, however, nonetheless we do plan on doing a class in Raliegh. I have 2 calls into Scott @ Down Under to confirm dates.. As DiverBuoy mentioned our in-water ratio is 6:1 however I suspect for this class we will bring in either JJ and I, or Andrew and I so we will do 12:2..
As soon as Scott and I finalize the details I'm confident that someone will post the details.
Thanks again for the interest..
Let me know if you have any questions.

I've actually had the weight off for a couple of months now - so I hope I'm in the routine of exercise and diet that I can maintain. But I had so much more energy. What isn't made clear until your in it is how long the class is:
Friday was 7p-11:15p, Saturday was 8:30a to 11p, Sunday was 8:00a till 3:30p. That's almost 1 hour of instruction for every 2 hours (asleep or awake) available in one weekend!
Anyway you'll need your health to put it mildly
