Jimmer:Let us know where you're going to be teaching, so I can make sure I tell everyone I know to avoid that shop. You honestly think this many people telling you to maybe slow down and take a breath, are all involved in some sort of conspiracy against you? Like other's have said, you're arrogance and pompous attitude really do not befit a scuba instructor. I've met a lot of instructors over the past 14 years, and all I can say, is check the "I'm better than you" attitude at the door, because that won't fly with the huge majority of students.
I am just as good of a diver as you are, I am more than capable than most candidates
Thanks to a few of you, everyone else, you should really focus on your own short comings, because you have some.

CJ Waid:I am in the process of divemaster, I am going to be an instructor by the end of the summer.
I have a problem though, I honestly know nothing about what is COOL and what isn't COOL when it comes to equipment...
I like Aqualung, simply because I heard that they have excellent programs for instructors.
BUT, right now I don't know the difference between a brand new 1,000 dollar reg and an old beat up one that someone made in their garage out of parts that they pulled out of an old lawn mower... ya know what I mean???
As far as I am concerned (Personally) a reg is a reg, as long as it is functioning the way it was designed to... That is my problem, I know nothing about features, etc...
I know that I need to know this stuff to be taken seriously as an instructor, so this is my start...
I NEED opinions and stuff on equipment, mostly Regs and BC's (I know about the new i3, but that is about the extent of my knowledge on what is cool).
THANK YOU..........
