I plan to go

I want to go but I'll have to see if I can leave work early that day... otherwise I'll probably end up sitting in traffic and still not making it there on time.

I would like to go. Anyone know how long it should last? It is an hour drive home, and I like to go to bed early.

We're shooting for 7-9pm.

Hope to see you there,
Rob

Hi All,

The links don't work.

Ben, thanks for the new links.

Can one take the class with rented gear?

The gear requirements for fundamentals are rather strict, and most dive shops do not rent the appropriate equipment. Beyond that, one of the fantastic things about taking fundies is the attention spent on getting your gear adjusted for maximum balance on you. You'll learn a tremendous amount from the class, even in rental or borrowed gear, but it definitely reduces the immediate and direct applicability of this specific benefit for you.

I'd personally recommend trying to get your own personal gear, since it's a platform that will grow with you. More then anything else though, I'd recommend getting in touch with the local fundies instructors (including rhlee on this board) and getting their take on it.
