Since the Seeker has been a recent topic

[jamespitt]

I am finishing The Last Dive by Bernie C, and is the Seeker that is being referred to here, the same Seeker "of Death" that plays a major part in the book???
I am loving the book and will be sorry to end it (which will probably be this weekend).
ok - back to the discussion.

I agree with everything you've said Tom, just one question.
Where in Udo's letter, or Dan's response, is the Doria mentioned?

It isn't mentioned. I assumed it. If you talk traveling to do deep wrecks up there you're talking Doria. That's what he meant I'm sure.

SSI is taught in at least three colleges that I am aware of locally, possibly four.

I am looking for the information but I believe that I read somewhere that during the early 70's the major training agencies got together and set minimum standards for at least basic training. Didn't they form a oversite group that became the forerunner of DEMA?

I believe you are refering to the Recreational Scuba Training Council (RSTC). If memory serves, all major training agencies plus the Undersea Medical Hyperbaric Society sit on this advisory board. They work together to draw up the training standards to which you refer.

Meanwhile, DEMA is the Diving Equpment Manufacturers Association.

Different organizations....

Does anyone know who insures GUE instructors?

I'm just curious if this is going to be a problem with other NJ boats. George has p***** off quite a few people here in the NE. If only I had my own boat and captain's license.

This could be taken one of two ways. You could mean you wish you had your own boat so you could take the people who are being screwed by other captains out for diving. However, you could mean that you wish you had your boat so you could get back at George and not take GUE trained people out. If it is the first possiblity then cool. If it is the second, then that is simply wrong. George is not GUE, and not associated with GUE. Why punish many highly trained divers because of the actions of one person not even associated with the orginization.

What is the relationship between RSTC and GUE?

I definitely meant the statement to mean to take the people out who are being screwed by other boat captains.
