I have seen the video, I do not believe they are answered clearly and understandability for a newbie like this. Either answer thw Q's or send her back to rec list until she has some diving behind her. It is clear the local instructor is not insupport. Is this a Tech List, does GUI now support and train OW? Is the a clear list of the do's and don'ts from the DIR folks, let's hear it first hand. R/David -----Original Message----- From: Kevin E.
