Terry, the NACD and CDS are nothing but collections of trailer trash goobers who are trying to make a living teaching cave diving. Both organizations are run by instructors and most of the members of each are instructors. The gear configs these guys use are too stupid to discuss. ----- Original Message ----- From: "terry michael" <OEA51@go*.co*> To: "George Irvine" <George-Irvine@em*.ne*>; "pina" <pina3@be*.ne*> Cc: "Techdiver" <techdiver@aquanaut.com> Sent: Tuesday, June 19, 2001 8:48 PM Subject: HOSE STUFFER! > I heard that the president of NACD is a hose stuffer! Is that true? The "recreational cave diver" is a red neck N. Florida idea in my opinion that was exported to Mexico for profit$$ THE CAVES AND ENVIRONMENT GETS F*CKED people get killed and you guys sell dive products. > > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: "George Irvine"<George-Irvine@em*.ne*> > To: "pina"<pina3@be*.ne*>, "Brad, Jen, and Sam"<bjs539@ho*.co*> > Cc: "Techdiver"<techdiver@aquanaut.com> > Date: Sun Jun 17 01:42:13 PDT 2001 > Subject: Re: don't be silly....was....RE: Advice on NACD? > > >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. > > > >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.

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 > > > ___________________________________________________ > GO.com Mail > Get Your Free, Private E-mail at http://mail.go.com > > -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
