A lot of people are told to "Take Fundies" to help improve their diving skills but I'm curious as to why people actually do take Fundies -- that is, what was the final trigger that made them (you) sign up?
For me, I wasn't going to take the class having taken Rec 1 and Rec 2 from the precursor to UTD -- 5th DX. I just couldn't come up with a justification to spend the time and money although a friend was working on me to join him. Then I had a triggering event on a dive in Canada (learned a big lesson -- if your gear isn't right on the boat, it won't get better in the water). That night, at dinner, I told me friend I'd sign up and I did.
I periodically read about people who are even Technical Instructors for another agency and they decide to take Fundies -- why? (Note, my NAUI Tech buddy has just decided to take Fundies for example and I know why, or at least think I do.) So why did YOU finally decide to pull the trigger and sign up for the class?
