Art, Get real. The next thing you'll be wanting is for all the wimp divers in the NE (who are only certified advanced for the strenuous diving conditions that occur in Pennsylvania quarries) to actually dive in salt water. Do you really expect the tech instructors to give up their subsidized trips to Florida and the Caribbean. The students can't be exposed to the local dive scene, if they were they would soon realize that they seldom, if ever, see their old instructors actually diving. With any luck, there's light at the end of the tunnel, Shaun last dive: 9/28/97, hell! it was only a small craft advisory.
