Its easy Jammer. Just pick a shop and work your way up to DM. Yes I said work (and pay!) Then find an instructor that will let someone like you around students. All 12 major shops in the greater Seattle area let DMs fill their own tanks for free. Just leave the Hascal on for a few seconds longer and then bleed the pressure from the whip and guage back into the banks after you turn off your tank valve. Nothing to it and you will learn a lot about diving if you hook up with a crufty old instructor. You know the ones I mean, they think they are responsible for the students untill they get some training and experience. :-) OFDA? dickb, 1956 In message <199704272358.QAA21931@gl*.oz*.ne*> Jammer writes: > Well, I've begun de-strokeing, and sold my Genesis, and bought Pressed > Steel 104's.
