     I am not implying that there is no place for technical training. I am
only saying that you can't go from an openwater diver with 60 dives spread
out over 10 years to a deep mixed gas diver, all in the period of a year, 5
certification classes and 12 training dives. You might have the
certifications, but you won't have the qualifications. It takes time to
accumulate the number of dives needed to move from one level to the next.
As for the WKPP, I do not know what their selection criteria is, but I
assume that if you just got your cave and mix c-cards, you would not be
laying any line. - Tony
