I have trusted the equipment Chris sells with my life and the lives of my students since Edge and HOG came into the market. After servicing equipment he sold and teaching the courses he designed for end users to service regulators, and never having an issue with any of the equipment, I have no...

I usually get started in April and try to open in May or June at the latest, Ill post info as I get it.

Phil, Im hoping that things are resolved but I havent heard anything recently from the others that were trying to take it over. Ill know more as the season gets closer but I have every intention of getting it open. Just for clarification to others that seem to be mislead... No, Im not retired...

We certainly plan on it.

Sounds like the poor little wannabee is trying to start a fight. Disgruntled? No, not even worried about it. You worry about your business and hope no one gets pissy with you about something someday and Ill worry about mine. This entire thread was about someone wanting to know if they should...

Please read before you reply next time. If you certify your students before they start the course, thats your call. I DO NOT complete the paperwork for someone until they finish the course. An extra 10 seconds of reading would have solved this issue before you ever posted. Since I was...

Would you like to explain to me how I wouldnt know about a situation that I witnessed? Im guessing you are the All Knowing, All Seeing Instructor and no one knows anything about the industry other than you.

What I am trying to explain is that everyone is 100% sure their agency is doing everything possible to make sure they thrive and survive... until they find that the agency only looks out for its own best interests. The Guilty before proven Innocent concept is BS and not everyone that has been...

No, Im focused on people that are expelled due to reasons other than moral or safety issues. Not everyone that has been expelled has done something wrong. If you look at it from an agency point of view, expulsion of an instructor is the best option to prevent problems when it involves an...

I would have to disagree with you concerning the statement that they never tell the truth. There are several times I have seen disagreements between an agency and an instructor that started as a disagreement between people due to a personal problem. A few of the disagreements escalated to the...

Something I would like to point out, not every instructor that has been expelled from an agency was expelled due to something serious. Take into account how far up in the ranks an IT/Instructor can go and eventually, that IT/Instructor will have a target on his/her back because someone isnt...

I think the first thing I should point out is that I am not retired, even though a group that includes some of my previous staff members keep telling everyone that I am retired so they can justify trying to open the quarry without me. The person that posted prior to me added someone from the...

Not closed, just on hold trying to figure out which direction we need to go in due to the recent events. Since some of my previous staff members decided that I wasnt in the industry anymore (I wish I would have known that I retired) and then chose to make an attempt to open the quarry without...

I think its safe to say that ITI is ran by Carney and he does as he pleases. That became more than obvious to me in the last year. I doubt that the BoD reviewed the letter until after he had already decided it was going out. Based on what I personally have seen, unless it is a major issue, the...

Based on my experience with him, and this is only a personal observation, once he is on a path, he wont leave it no matter what the end result is. As I stated previously, he seen a chance to take a shot and took it just like he did concerning the use of dive computers while training years ago...

I have tried several times to verify an invoice I received and no longer have access to verify who the students were or which instructor trained them. I am always directed to Brian Carney. I have nothing to say to him after the last several conversations I have had with him and I have no...

It was great to finally meet you too. Looking forward to seeing you here more often. :)

Update for the 4th of July Holiday: We will be open from the Thursday the 4th through Sunday the 7th. That is 4 days of Diving, Snorkeling, Swimming, and Kayaking. The water is getting warm and the days are getting hot... Come out and enjoy them.

You should have given me a call, I would have been happy to come open up so someone could see the quarry.

Just a reminder, the quarry will be open Monday for Memorial Day. Thanks to our Veterans for making that possible.
