Hi Dean, Perhaps you'd like to try again. I teach TDI courses including Tri-mix and Full Cave and I find absolutely nothing objectionable in your "dirty dozen" except perhaps your unfounded assumption that I might have a problem with any of them. :-)) Of course I might have difficulty certifying a student who believed his << diving skill, deco theory, or general in water proficiency. >> was so perfect that he had nothing more to learn. That is unless he was one of only a very few people I have met, and I would be real happy to learn from any of them. But in actuality, I always learn something from my students during each class. I think that any instructor that doesn't realize this is either an incompetent boob or a pompous horse's rear end. And I love your << It said on the box: 'Requires Windows 95 or better' ... so I bought a Mac ! >> Take care and dive safe, Scott Some weeks it's just not worth the effort to gnaw through the restraints and scramble up out of the pit.

Maybe we could come up with a dirty dozen.... 1) Turn up rigged DIR 2) Flash your GUE card as ID 3) Refuse to dive independent doubles 4) Refuse to dive with different mixes in the twins, separated only by the isolation valve 5) Fail to rapturously support the position that solo tech diving is a "great idea" on the "cutting edge of technical diving in the 21st Century" 6) Mention the Wah Wah text 7) Suggest planning a dive instead of diving a trimix computer 8) Show any Wakulla dives in your log book 9) Refuse to dive deep on air 10) Use the word "stroke" in any capacity other than to describe a method of swimming 11) Wear your DIR T-shirt to the first night of class 12) Display ANY semblance of diving skill, deco theory, or general in water proficiency. regards *** dean laffan real world productions melbourne, australia ph +613-9419-3966 Mobile - 0418-525-315 It said on the box: 'Requires Windows 95 or better' ... so I bought a Mac ! >> -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
