Hi all! George wrote what we'd need. 1) more spread-out training 2) groups that people who learn this game can dive with 3) enforce this before cave diving becomes an anachronism. So how could we do that? Just an example... I'm moving to Colorado and want to cave dive regularly. I'd appreciate GUE instructors in that area, or at least people with a similar mindset that I buddy up with them. Due to the painful lack of sufficient vacation days, I'd like to be able to drive to some caves over weekends to keep trained and gain experience and would be even fine with crappy viz I'm used to anyway. The other thing I'd like to ask you all about (some lawyers out there?) is the liability problem when it comes to pool training. What I have in mind is a couple of certified divers breath holding, swimming, kicking, solving problems under water together. It's no replacement for other training, but a well working addition to it. The club is good for many other things as well, like regular med examinations, more training, it's delivers a nice list of possible buddies, you can always find people who know an answer and can physically help. I'm doing that training here in Europe now, once a week, and know its advantages for my real dives. I don't intend to earn money, the whole thing should be set up so that certified divers just join me. If something bad happened (never ever has during my training here), neither me nor the pool owners etc. should be responsible. It should be more an offer to do something good and fun together. Any suggestions will be well appreciated. Thanks, Claudia -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
