    Wow...Of course, knowledge for its own sake is good I just didn't realize that you could do that with so few dives.

    Walter....I meant to say hi and socialize with you for a few minutes at the SEI meeting at DEMA but I had to run out immediately. I was the one sitting beside Slate.
    Next time.

    You think that's good, in addition to my Master rating I also got Advanced, Rescue, CPR/First Aid, and Nitrox. The prereq. to entering the program was an OW certification, and we accomplished all those things in 13 dives with minimal classroom time. Oh - and all with no books! Woohoo! Go NAUI!

    Now you see why I can't wait for my first SEI course.

    Don't get me wrong bjjman, I am not blaming the student for the standards of the instructor/course. When you don't offer a lot of info up front it is no wonder the students have to keep taking classes just to become decent divers...sad really.
