And you better pick your instructor carefully, or he might just "watch" you
die----as did IANTD instructor Derick McNulty, purported to have attained
instructor trainer status, but who still managed the gross incompetence to
"watch" his student sink to her death from 30 feet, while he cowered at his
deco stop, afraid he did not have  enough gas to effect a rescue ( yet
admitted he had nearly 2/3 of his trimix left).
Choose wisely.  Watch for GUE to  begin training, with the MUCH higher
instructor competence level they are promising.
Regards,
Dan
