JT, I'd be interested in hearing your answer to this. This isn't a troll, really. Techdiver has been dead for a while, so your answer to this would be diving related, and more interesting than people correcting your spelling and grammar (which is all we've been seeing lately). Here's my background: I'm 25 yrs old. I've been diving since 1994, started getting interested in the deeper wrecks in 97, but it wasn't until 98 that I really got into it by taking TDI courses and whatnot. I got certified Tech 1 in 2001 and have been working towards Tech2 that I'll be taking in July. I have several hundred dives, but nothing that I'd consider extremely deep. As I've said before, I still consider myself a neophite because my skills are not where I'd like them to be, and I feel that I have a lot to still to learn. So, I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on making the transition out of the neophite catagory. I've got to make the transition sooner or later. ss On Tue, 1 Apr 2003, Capt JT wrote: > What's wrong Joe, you couldn't get me to bite when you were asking the same > questions under a fake email and you can't prove that LDC is trying to do > anything with me.
