As far as role models. We have dived with a number of people. Two of wich were an IDC instructor (love that man) and his wife an instructor and a moderator for this board (love that woman too). When my wife and I were diving with them, we went through the cursory checkout for diving and watched them go through the steps one by one. Now they have dived more times than I probably ever will and here they are going through the steps one by one. We 9the wife and I) changed our position and now go through the steps one by one too. If its good enough for a PADI IDC and an Instructor to do then its good enough for me and the wife. They are great people and when they are not diving we have a great time, social libations and all, but when we dive we dive professionally. Yeah, if your gonna instruct, or that matter if your gonna dive, do it the RIGHT WAY EVERY TIME!!! Do your checks, don't molest the sea life and don't hang on the coral, you wanna do a bounce dive, go right ahead, but leave us out, your asking for trouble.
