Hi Brent

Welcome to the net.  With your interest in TEK diving I do have a few words 
that might help.

1. You mentioned the price of the education, well my friend TEK diving at the 
moment is on the apex when it comes to recreational diving.  It takes a lot of 
prerequisite experience, excellent diving skills, problem management, proper 
attitude good quality equipment and the right type of education to name just a 
few.  The good professional instructors out there have shown a commitment to 
the sport.  They have paid out thousands of $s for their diving, equipment and 
education.   These professionals have the ability and skills to safely educate 
divers to dive beyond these so called "maximum recreational depth limits".  
Most of them are unlikely to sell their skills cheaply.

What training agency should you go with?  Well that could really start a shit 
fight and I am personally biased so I will not get into it.  What I will say 
however, is that it depends on your instructor,  check around get feed back 
from others that have had training from these guys.  Their are some really 
good guys out there.  TEK diving is a tool to complete your dive objectives, 
not to look cool or look like the front cover of an old TEK magazine.  In the 
end you will have to be ready to part with some $s.  Dive gear for TEK diving 
can be expensive purchase and maintain, if you are not prepared to spend it, 
stick to your normal diving and have fun doing it.

Enjoy
