For Christ Sake, Ted, will you READ some of the goddamn posts? You are
starting to look dim-witted.

I think that all of the NOVA people ought to chip in and buy Ted a place in
this class so he can exault them with his perfect bouyancy, his flawless
buddy skills, his unparalelled trim and balance. Come on Ted, show those
goddamn know-it-all cavers how a real wreck diver handles himself.

As I said (over and over and over and over and over) that issues such as
buoyancy, transparent buddy teams, trim and streamlining, are all fixable
with practice practice practice and getting the proper equipment and
adjusting it properly. JT has the time and inclination to do this, as do ALL
of the NOVA people. Do you?

When they get this basic shit down to a fine art and then take the GUE Tech
1 class they won't get washed out on the basics. They will be able to go
straight to the good stuff.

And it seems to me that there may be a reason that all the NOVA divers are
driving south rather than north, after reading this post of yours.
