A very bad week in Florida

I would grab the chance given by GDI without a second of hesitation.
So somehow I have to agree with Dennis

After reading through this and other threads on this subject, I have to say that your reply to GDI is a very telling one, BB. Especially this line...



I can't see a person who has already gone through the amount of training you would have to achieve the certs in your bio, this dosen't make sense to me. I could imagine a new diver saying that but not someone who is an instructor themselves.

Dennis,

You captured my thoughts exactly.

(That sound you hear is my open mind closing!)

I must say Mania, I had the same initial impression you did when this thread began but have since changed my mind.

 

[Diver Dennis]

Thanks Jeff. I did change the wording a bit after you quoted me to make better sense. My mind just did the same as yours...

Currently I am a bit traumatised by the whole training and instruction thing.

However I am in the British Midlands and you are in Florida. By the time I have found the time, paid for the airfare, car hire, accomodation etc I may just as well do a full cave course as a (free) cave diving review...

...When I have the time, money and inclination I will probably do a full cave course. ...

That sums it up I think................a lot of air, no substance.

hmmm BrucieBabe bad choice on your part, at least a very bad explanation for not taking up GDI on his offer. Many a diver has flown to the states to take classes from GDI - with no guarantee of any kind that they would leave with a C-card.

I believe the credibility meter has just hit the all time low mark.:coffin:

(note to El Orans - I think we need a couple of credibility meter smilies for such threads )

I'm one of them.
And for a Pole flying to Florida is way more expensive than for a Brit.

Apparently BrucieBabe isn't getting the support and comforting he was looking for on this board.

That's ok ... He is not getting that from any other board either ...
