Subject: Re: 4 days to train from 100 to 240 on AIR
My favorite part is that you pay by the foot for the first 5 levels (I wan'a
take mine in metric!)

 Entry Level Deep Air
 
    * Level I 100 feet -- $100
    * Level II 130 feet -- $130
 
 Extended Range Deep Air
 
    * Level III 150 feet -- $150
    * Level IV 180 feet -- $180
    * Level V 200 feet -- $200
    * Level VI 240 feet -- $300
    * Level VII 300 feet -- CALL
 
 -Levels I through VI can be completed in four days
 -Level I may be skipped with certain qualifications
 -Equipment needs will be format dependant
