Well Tim, how's the pursuit of knowledge going? The season is here and the temp is almost to bearable....well almost. This list is always adversarial. Someone always has a different opinion as to what is right. Easiest way to weed through it all, is to gain as much info as possible, don't be afraid to ask questions, and develop a thicker skin by not taking things to personal. Oh, and if you learned it from PADI.... it is probably WRONG<VBG> Do you have a copy of the DIR fundamentals book yet? Tell you what I'm gonna do.....just to prove that I'm not as bad as rumors would have you think <G> If you wanna stop by, I'll give you a copy to get you started in the right direction.
