>IANTD was looking pretty good and TDI
>was running up the score.
My IANTD technical deep and technical gas classes were a total joke. I had
already been going pretty deep for about five years on my local favorite
wrecks but decided to finally get the two tech certs just to make it
official. Why not - always lloking to learn and better ways to set up my
rig, right ??
It was a typical fast-get-your-money-in and get-through-the-diving as quick
as you can and can-you-read-this-text-at-home and oh-ya-take-home-final type
of class.
I finally downloaded of copy of the "IANTD Standards March 12, 1998" and
read the rules after the fact. And the cherry on the sunday was never got
the c-card and the instroketer ( who shall remain nameless ) is no where to
be found. Now I'm interested in a Trimix course and probably have to take
the classes again.
It really blew my mind and that is exactly why I stopped teaching for dive
shops.
I think we all know why recreational and technical divers are inhaling
saltwater on a regular basis, don't we ?? And I am saying this as a
PADI/NAUI/DAN instuctor who REALLY loves to dive and REALLY loves to teach.
My two cents.
