SparticleBrane:How many dives do you have?
Yes, perhaps you should take your own advice.Divedoggie:How many dives do you have? Pool and bathtub don't count.
Maybe you should with-hold judgement (in all of your posts.) until you have done a few more spins around the block.
Thalassamania:Yes, perhaps you should take your own advice.
Just because I don't put credentials and qualifications in my profile doesn't mean I don't have them. And yes I buy all my own gear, thanks. :shakeheadDivedoggie:Maybe 600 dives and being at least familiar with the sport for 25 years and becoming an Instructor isn't enough experience to compare to you, but its a tad more than Sparticlebrain's 40 dives.
A few of those 40 dives may be with the nice doubles rig that daddy bought. Which is nice.
But "helping out in the pool," without the credentials to help out, is no pass to be critical of someone who is expressing their excitement about pursuing con - ed.
Divedoggie:I was certified in 1982 and had just over 300 dives before stepping away from the sport for 10 years. After taking the OW course again, and really getting excited about it, I have added close to 300 more logged dives.
