Just set up a HammerHead diver course (Air-dil) in Ft White, FL. Course dates will be Dec 13-17, 2013. There are still a couple spots open. Instructor will be myself, Josh Thornton, TDI Adv Mixed Gas IT #8156.
Courses offered:
Anyone else looking to get their HammerHead certs around this time? We will be basing the course out of Cave Country Lodge and be diving in the beautiful springs of North Central Florida. Students stay at the lodge for only $30 per night which makes the logistics of the course easy. I have a truck to haul equipment, so if you need a rental car, it can be small!
EMAIL ME or PM me if you are interested.
Thanks Josh for putting up with me for the week. I passed! I think I make a good choice with the Hammerhead, but, I KNOW I made an excellent choice choosing you as my instructor. In my line of work I get a lot of training, you're one of the best instructors I have had by far. I'd like to also give a BIG Texas thanks to the whole Dive Addicts staff for making me feel at home, and helping me with some last minute gear selections. After I get some time on the unit, I'll be back for more.
TDI Rebreather Diver Certification

Using the latest in technology CCR's maximize your gas supply of Nitrox and provide the optimum breathing gas for any depth by maintaining a constant partial pressure of oxygen (PPO2). During the dives (minimum of seven) your TDI Instructor will teach you all the necessary skills to conduct CCR dives to a maximum depth of 30 m/100 feet.

Having completed cave, deco procedures, and trimix courses as comparisons, I can say Josh Thornton is a well qualified and knowledgeable CCR Instructor who certainly knows the ins and outs of the CCR. He easily answered all questions I had. The class was also well planned and organized. Plus anything I forgot or needed, he had extras, or knew where and how to quickly get it. I would definitely recommend Josh to anyone considering CCR training in the future.
Thanks again Josh, and safe diving.
