    Very admirable.  It's just that it seems an under-educated "I'm an
Instructor"
attitude has successfully infiltrated the influence of another unsuspecting new
diver, your student.  Guys like you need to be thrown out of the sport.  Why is
it
that once a person becomes an instructor, he/she suddenly has all the answers to
everything, even shit they know nothing about.  "Well, in the U.S Navy Dive
Manual
it says................"    If you don't do it, or can't, take a course in
modesty
and learn something.

    Again, this is the real sad part.  An idiot like you is actually
instrokting.
Do you stand in front of the mirror at night just to watch and listen to
yourself
talk?

    Tell you what,  I don't have to know you or even what you do to deduce the
fact
that you are another self inflated hero.  Listen, Spank, I don't have to be a
race
car driver to know how to drive a car; And you know what,  I don't tell the race
car drivers how to drive.   Now that I think about it,  your methodology is
starting to influence me.  I think all race cars should have Air bags.  You
know,
they get in a lot of wrecks and all.  Holy shit!

    Do I have to repeat everything Tom said?   Another thing, if you are going
to
insinuate that I am ignorant, at least spell it right.   Also, "your" in the
above
sense would be spelled 'you're', dumb fuck-----Jason
