The GLWC's Mike Lynch is now a NAUI Open Water Instructor!
Congratulations Mike and the scuba community will be well served as you add to our ranks!
Thank you Bruno's, Rick, James, and all those who have been training Mike.
Until we can celebrate properly, here it to MIKE!
Congrats my friend!
Great Job, Mike. In my latter years, I'm really brushing shoulders with some classy people. The cert doesn't make you classy; you already had all those characteristics.

Thanks guys! I've learned so much in the training that Rick put on. This certification was over a year in the making, and it has been worth every second. I can honestly say the NAUI program is tough. my tech certifications were easier than this one! I'm very grateful for everyone's help. :-)

I think Mike needs to start teaching a Grimace Diver Specialty course. Now that's a card I'd carry!!
Ya here that, Mike; Now that I pioneered the sure-fire route to the Grimace, you can teach all the techniques on locating him and how to pose for pictures without stirring up the bottom once your students get there....Oh, wait a minute; I don't think Mike W. will allow them to file deep dive plans. That's ok; just have them hook up with Divin'Hoosier and PVstash. They'll gladly take them there. : )

Denny: Hahahah ... not funny!! :mooner:
Actually, because of the depth, it would require an Advanced cert with cold and deep diving equipment and experience. That way they could get Mike's approval.
The course has so much to offer! It involves navigation, cold water, depth, a definite eerie factor, buoyancy and trim are critical. I can think of MANY specialty courses far lamer than the Grimace Diver course would be!!
