Possible DIR-F in North Carolina

[ElectricZombie]

I think we need a minimum of 5 people. Including myself, I think there are 4 people here on ScubaBoard that plan to take the class.

As soon as the dates get set, I'm sure everyone will need to put down a deposit or something to hold your spot.

Looks like we have a class. June 21, 22, 23 with Dave Sweetin.
Contact Down and Under to pay your deposit.

Depending on the Instructor who teaches the program and the place that sponsors it, you might get them as part of the course.
when I teach fundamentals, I include the use of bp/w and harness (singles only)for all participants that do not already have one at NO CHARGE. All that is required is advanced notice of how many people need them. If the class is being run/sponsored through a local ds. chances are they are already offering them in the store. Most have a try before you buy policy. best, bob

Dave is great. You guys will have a wonderful time and learn a lot. best, bob

Scott (LDS)just informed me that the dates are set for June 20/21/22. He also tells me that the instructors have told him that BP/wings will be available for those who do not have one (rental?). All of you that have expressed an interest at the shop, look for a phone call from the LDS in the next few days.


Schedule as I have it:
6/20--Academics/Gear Rigging at DU shop in Cary
6/21--Training dives 1&2/ Video Review
6/22--Training dives 3&4/ Video Review

All dives will be at Lake Rawling VA http://www.lakerawlings.com/

 

[herman]

I was just wondering what the rest of you guys are planning. Are you going to camp at Lake Rawlings, dive back and forth from home each day or what.

 

[ElectricZombie]

There is a little motel down the road from Rawlings. I will probably just stay there.

Who all from ScubaBoard is going?
