Subject: Re: Cave training
Alton, as I remember, I decided not to dive there at that time, and you
basicly cleared the room with that tape, leaving only me and Paul in the
class. I still remember and use eveything you taught me that night and
in that course, right down to which gas station has the good breakfast
and which has the good dinner. I remember that jar not clearing the
whole session.
