i'm with YOU, Dave

i'm SO sorry that we're not all macho enough for the chosen few


meanwhile, didn't i see that NAUI has renamed its Open Water II to be
Advanced Open Water and instituted a Master Diver cert similar (if not
identical) to PADI's?

shouldn't THAT have killed off the tired old carping about AOW once and for all?

some divers seem to think that any skill not learned on your own by doing
everything wrong and not dying by luck alone is simply not worth having or
truly earned.

if more people can learn the RIGHT ways from more instructors then that's
BETTER for the sport and ultimately for all of us.
