[JohnnyC]

Thank you so much JohnnyC.
You are all awesome
I have my eyes open for Patrick at Proctec, and here you all just give me a confirmation.

Much appreciate for your help.

Patrick's an.....intense, kinda guy. Very good at what he does, very knowledgable. Does lots of really kickass exploration too. Talk to him about some of the projects he's got going in Madagascar and the Dominican Republic with Phil Lehman. Very cool stuff.

Natt Gibbs from Under the Jungle gets my vote too. She's awesome and super focused.

Lot`s of good tips here, but I would also mention Sebastien Kister. Just took my cave training with him and were super happy. Easy-going, good theoretical knowledge and as the inventor of Mnemo of course, lots of cave experience. Also helpful with finding accommodation and sorting you out when (or maybe if) you get an ear infection.

Just ask if you have any questions.

I can highly recommend Nicolas from CenoteXperience - Cavern, Cave and Ocean Diving in Playa del Carmen Yucatan Mexico - Home I have been diving with Nico & his brother Martin for over 7 years. They are very patient, professional and never in a hurry. They have a small family dive shop in Playa. Tell Nico that Steve from Canada sent you.

 

[The Chairman]

For sure with Natt.
