He sets a fine example for his instructors as well...we just had a TDI
instructor (who had his 15 minutes of fame on the Skycliff here in Boynton)
come into Boynton Beach Florida Motorola Factory and teach an 18 student (was
supposed to be 20!!) Nitrox class in one night...a whopping few hours to
Nitrox certification.  I had one of his students come by and the guy didn't
know how to verify a tank!!!  We should have at least a death or two for the
scorecard out of that class.

So out of curiosity I called a friend who is a TDI Nitrox instroketer to find
out what the student to instructor ratio for the TDI Nitrox class
is...UNLIMITED.  Amazing, I could become a TDI instructor, rent out Madison
Square Garden and teach a few thousand folks how to kill themselves...That's
Efficiency!!  Next thing you'll see is Jack Kervorkian (spelling?) becoming a
TDI instructor...it would up his kill ratio!
