any interest in Tech Classes???

[raxafarian]

Just wondering if there might be any interest to get a small group of people together to travel to Key Largo for a combo "advanced nitrox/deco" class. I left the price/info sheet at home... but I believe the pre-req's are age 18+, nitrox, and probably AOW. These are TDI classes.

I'm thinking this might be a good thing to do during the Feb. timeframe. They offer other classes, as well.


I was thinking of taking a long weekend to accomplish this... the combo class entails classroom work and 6 dives. Maybe fly down on a thurs. eve., return tuesday??



Any interest? thoughts?

I'm tempted, as I've been planning on doing the course sometime next spring. However I have reservations that are two-fold.

1) The TDI instructor I plan on using is known as an extremely good instructor; from others as well as my own personal experience.

2) I actually prefer to do my training up here... that way there aren't any surprises when using it up here.

But... it is tempting, and I'll think about it some more.

the place I'm looking at taking the classes is where Wreckwriter pointed us.... he charters them for tech trips. Water temp at that time of the year will probably be around 70.

After diving with them, I have no reservations about taking classes with them.

That's good to know... it hacks out my #1...

Dah... nevermind... Jan through mid March is out for me anyway...

I'd be all for training with Diver City, as I was also impressed with their operation, and instilled with confidence by the way they run things.

I agree with Spectre about preferring to train in the conditions I'll most often be diving however, and I'm still dangling nitrox certification as a carrot to help me over the "6 months without nicotine" hurdle. I'd be excited to take the class up here in the spring though!
