Firstly, go to the bank and get a personal load for about $10 to $15k, then go directly to your nearest Dive store (regardless whether or not they are qualified in Deep Tech instruction)and tell them how much you want to spend, the store person (a snow skier with snorkeling quailifications) will then inform you of what you have been looking for and what you want. After parting with every cent you have, you will find yourself in possesion of a shit load of gear that doesn't match up until you've modified it many times. The instructor (after completeing his third open water course and 112th dive) will teach you everything he knows in one theory session. Then the practical portion. If you survive and go on deep diving you will begin to gain confidence possibly after 12 months or so(20 odd deep dives??), and will now start to actually feel comfortable and with skills to match. This is a natural evolution which only allows the good divers to breed, ensuring prime breeding stock at all times. It also forces weak instructors to fail and leave the sport of which they have become accustomed to, thru litigation and the inability to properly insure themselves thereafter. Sending them back to their destined path of snorkeling. Hoping this helps Hoping you survive Manny. -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
