Congratulations Jupitermermaid. I guess that means that you can lead me on my dives when I come down to visit and address that pesky issue of your neighbour . Seriously though, congratulations. I am sure you worked very hard for it and will be a great DM.
Jupitermaid, Thanks a lot. This will help. I still do one air table problem every other day with a nitrox one in between just so it's always on the tip of my tongue, especially should the computer fail. Takes about a minute a day. Sounds silly after 100 dives, but I have a bad memory. I also keep studying the course books daily. Your info. will really help should I decide to do the DM. My LDS owner says the pay is $200 per OW course and DMs "get paid for other stuff". Sounds better than some of the reports I got on my "Pay" thread. TH
's okay...once you're done with it, seems to all lump together...until you go through it again for IDC....then again for IE.....then again for IDC Staff....then again for Course Director.....and however many times you get to teach it to DM Candidates....and IDC Candidates.....
Congrats!
I am in the middle of it right now - will "graduate" in about three weeks, if I can ever get my map project buddies all available on the same day......
The timed 400m swim really sucks......
Michael
Yay! Now will it be YOU leading some of the dives with JDC?
For the 400M swim required--What is the minimum time needed (am an old guy)? I assume it is without fins....
