Subject: Re: Agencies & Heliox
Chris, I always tell people to call Jarrod Jablonski. 904-454-0811. He
can make those recommendations. I am not up to speed on who is doing
what in training.

Jarrod has his own network of good guys, and Jarrod has the best
information. Jarrod actually does the most difficult dives himself so
knows what he is talking about, holds all kinds of records , and is the
best in the business in my opinion, and my opinion is based on seeing
the obvious alternative in action and the fact that Jarrod is my own
dive partner for everything that I do for the last ten years.

His training agency is called GUE - Global Underwater Explorers. He is
also WKPP Training Director, and used to be NACD TD. GUE has a web site
http://www.GUE.com, and that phone number I gave you above is for their
HQ in High Springs , Florida. 

Most people I will not dive with, but I can take students trained by JJ
and do normal dives with them as if they were WKPP regulars and they
perform flawlessly. This always amazes me. I did a 250 foot cave dive
with two of them once as a graduation dive frrom a JJ gas course to get
seme survey data corrected, and I took a couple of them with me one time
to watch me while I dove an experimatnal rebreather - that is how good
they are.
 
People trained by most others we have to debrief, rerig, and retrain
before we can use them to do anything without a cluster. Do not settle
for baloney - go for the best.
