looking for local PADI wreck specialty instructor

[aue-mike]

If anyone is interested I could offer some seminars. I have been thinking about this for a while, as others have asked about it over the years. You won't get any snazzy card out of it, but I guarantee I could offer you more than a typical course, including wreck identification, orientation and navigation, nautical architecture, use of reels and liftbags, gear rigging, etc. No dives, but lots and lots of information, useful techniques, and practical exercises.

Mike,

I would be very interested in such a seminar. Should we set this up before or after DEMA? I wonder how many would like to attend?

I was just thinking of running it over several nights at my house or something, that way I can show video and artifacts, demonstrate gear and techniques, etc., without having to haul stuff all over the place. And to go over all the aspects I want to cover, as well as run thru some skills, it will take some time...not sure I could do a full seminar in a few hours -- perhaps a full day.

 

[The Chairman]

Well, now I am VERY interested. Keep us apprised of this as it develops.

Mike, If you do it put me down for 3 spots.

My wife and I would also be interested.

 

[eandiver]

If you put one together I would like to attend!

 

[mkt]

I would like to attend as well... and I might have a friend who would also be interested

Mike, I'm in for two people.

Sounds like a blast!

The drive time factor would be an issue for me if this were done over several evenings. If it were done over a full day, or split up into two half days, or something of the sort, this definitely sounds like an interesting, informative seminar that I would be interested in.
