Most others do not. I would prefer that they do not die while attempting to learn. Thats the basic idea behind scuba instruction as a whole isnt it Mike? You could just read a book and dive away, but lots more people die that way. So they created this whole system of classes and such, to insure safety. did you get that mike?? shouldnt the whole point of classes be to teach skills safely instead of being to sell permits to do stuff you already know how to?? Isnt it foolish to expect that every student will be totally knowledgable and able to avoid the clueless and dangerous instructor? Why should we even have technical instruction at all if its just an evaluation of skills obtained elsewhere? al marvelli -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
