After taking the final today for philosophy class, I have to say that I am sad the class is over. Panos is one of the best instructors that I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. His instruction was clear and his delivery was superb. He is very passionate about his teaching. He has the unparalleled ability to explain seemingly complex details with ease.
The charisma that was exuded (even when I resisted and attempted to degrade his methodologies) by him caused a transformation of sorts in both my philosophical ideologies and my basic approach to diving.
As for diving information, speaking to him was like stepping into a mental library of diving knowledge. The VPM stuff (guinea pig testing) that he and JJ (plus others) are doing is baffling. I ask simple questions and get unbelieveably well thought out answers.
No wonder that people who get into GUE instruction are so dedicated. Panos radiates excellence.
I am slowly being

Now, if GUE would let me solo dive in peace, sidemount, no-mount, dive neoprene suits in Alaska, and let me carry a couple of reels, etc...., I would be totally assimilated. Also, I don't mind diving with strokes as long as they are friends or family. My mother will never be DIR, but I will dive with her anyway.
Cheers,
Jamie
