We passed -- thank you, DoubleDip

[Jon C]

Way to go!!!!! Now you can both restrict your posts to the snobby (kidding) DIR forum. We are no longer worthy of your words!!

Congrats!

Charlie, Peter just bought a DA Aquamaster on e-bay. I think he is running as fast as he can in the opposite direction

Jon, now at least people can't accuse me of talking about DIR when I haven't even passed Fundies yet!

Yeah, it brings more to the table. But now you'll have to get rid of the tank mesh, gauge retractor, booty fins, and 12" knife.

Seriously, great job. You should take a lot of pride in the accomplishment.

Congratulations to both of you.

Congratulations, Lynne! Both to you and your dive buddy, DoubleDip!

Excuse my ignorance, but can somebody tell me what is the fundies?

 

[TSandM]

DIR Fundamentals, the lowest rung of the GUE (Global Underwater Explorers) training ladder. If you're curious, look in the DIR forum for an explanation of the diving style, and a lot of reports (including ours!) from the class.

What can you say about somebody who dives with you, week after week, and is willing to go down and spend an hour, and burn a tank, doing mask remove and replace drills? Somebody who's watched you blow more ascents than you can count; who has retrieved the double-enders you've dropped. Who has swum over and tugged your hand to your valve, and repositioned your tank in the middle of Cove 2 when he thought he had an insight into what was hampering the drill (and he was right!) Somebody who has offered moral support when you were discouraged, and applauded you underwater for pulling something off well.

Six months of work, and we both passed Fundies today. And I couldn't have done it without him.

Huge congratulations! I know you put an amazing amount of work into this!
