Pat,

I'm very interested in attending the rebreather workshop since I will be at Sea 
Rovers this year.  However, I'd like to hear from some of those guys who 
attended Tek '95 and get their opinion on the workshop:

1)  is it worth the money?  (I assume it is since Bill Hamilton is the 
instructor, but a confirmation would be great)

2) Will Sea Rovers offer more than one session (say one Saturday, one Sunday) 
like they did at Tek '95 if it fills quickly?  I understand that they actually 
offered 3 sessions at Tek due to the interest of the attendees.

3)  Is it the same course offered at Tek '95 or a "watered down" version?

I'd appreciate any more info you could offer.

Thanks in advance,
John
