The only thing you need for an NACD course is a checkbook and two days. =
It is a joke. The "instructors" do not themselves do any real diving , =
whereas the GUE guys do, and the majority of them are going to run you =
through bullshit dives as fast as they can so they can get on back to =
the trailer for Miller Time.=20
The one thing you can get from the NACD is a card, no matter how much of =
a clusterfuck you are, so if you can not pass the walk and chew gum =
test, go to the NACD. If you are a real basket case, go to the CDS.

That is silly. =20

Here is the link to the GUE Cave 1 course:
http://www.gue.com/classroom/standards/gue_cave1_student.pdf

You do not need any prior cave/cavern training for this course, and if =
you have had any they will just have to un-train all the bad habits you =
have developed, and straighten the bad gear advice you received from =
other instructors.
=20
Just get the proper training the first time.=20

Subject: Advice on NACD?
Hello all-
I am wanting to learn the right way to do cave dives. This is =
obviously going to be GUE, but I don't think I am ready for GUE yet, as =
I have no other cave/cavern training. I have been thinking about doing =
the NACD courses to help prepare me for the GUE courses, but wanted to =
get the general concensus as to how well put together the NACD course =
really is. Thanks in advance for any advice I can get!!
Brad
