Self Reliant Diver--On All Dives.
Dude, I would dive with you pretty much anywhere. I like how you both look below the waves and getting ready. Yeah, i was relating anecdotes of my former students, but I still consider you two exceptional divers, even if you don't.
I did not take what you wrote as an insult. No, I know what you meant, and I meant what I wrote. You, my instructor of record (Rick Rowett), and many others, are poetry in a fluid medium. No way, I am not like that. I am not brown-nose'n ya, just say'n. Some are extremely good. I am a decent diver, I will admit to that.
I have a "Pete" story if anybody is interested. PM me. He does not remember the story, I am sure, but I was humbled.
That's why I suggested that YOU are your own ultimate certification. Once others see you prep and dive, they know what kind of diver you are. Who needs a cert? This is especially true in the high volume tourist diver locations that we often frequent.
Yeah, but I have had written agreements with dive-ops for specific sites and then there is always some problem. Thousands of dollars and hours and hours of travel, and we are on the same beat-up reef days on end.
Thanks Big Kahuna, Surges and Invasions saved me from that BS.
Dive and let dive! Join the revolution!!! For sure buddy!
