It is interesting that you post the following at this time.
I am undergoing some major changes in my diving for health reasons and
througout the personal evaluation  that I am going through I  once *again*
realize just how much I have learned from George Irvine and his WKPP.
I realize that there is no substitute for time in the water,but George and
his team members have taught me more than all the instructors I have know
and all the courses I have taken.
He/They also do not money whip you in the process.(Luv that phrase)
Only a dangerous fool would ignore their premiere advice.
Later,
