Count me as one of those who thought you were already a tech diver. Best of luck with your course, and I hope you continue to find wrecks you enjoy.

@Marie 13 stated
"He’s being a jerk. I am doing my training in a manner that fits me. Period. If you don’t like it, go crap on someone else’s thread. I see I’m going to have to begin adding to my ignore list again.
Both instructors I am considering for AN/DP (Steve and someone else I know well) have zero issues with the way I am doing my training.
The way some of you shill for Fundies is funny as hades.(don't you mean HELL ! ) You’re really bad evangelists and put me in mind of Jim and Tammy Faye Baker and her really bad makeup. ( No One absolutely No One can be that bad !)"

My suspicions were correct- Marie is a Chi-town street brawler- don't mess with @Marie13
Dear Marie
Recall our many emails just a few short years ago at the very beginning your entrance into the UW
world ? My old Squadrons motto ?
"Ne illegtimi carbrundum tere in vobis"
Which is Latin and translates into English
Don't let the bastards grind you dowm
Amd you are Not Letting the bastards grind you down
Stick with it - keep progressing @abnfrog is one of the greatest !

A little history]
in 1964 I prepared a proposal to LA CO UIA for diver & instructor clasifications
It was rejected by LA Co but they create did the world's fist 3 month long ADP
My 20 page proposal; was presented to NAUI BOD by Art Ulrich
NAUI rejected it
Dennis Graver, a NAUI instructor employed by PADI,Inc Presented the proposal to PADI, Inc
PADI, Inc adapted it !
It has now disintegrated like step marketing into step instruction
Diving is now a small step at a time-- so keep on stepping
You are doing great !

Oh! The utter horror of it all !

Haha, thanks, @Sam Miller III
And, yes, I was able to do a valve drill. Wasn’t pretty, but I got it done. And frog, back, and helicopter kicks. And shooting a lift bag mid water neutral. Steve said I had very good trim, and my gear didn’t need a huge amount of tweaking.

As much as I liked Steve, I will be going with a local instructor for AN/DP (maybe Helitrox). Steve’s topside facilities did not make my knees happy. Steep hill down to the beach entry. Stairs down to the dock. Both my local quarry and Wazee Lake (deco dives) in WI have easy beach entries.
I had a good chat with the local instructor (Tim Linse, formerly of Sweet Bottom Dive Center in St. Croix) today. We’ve tentatively scheduled the class for next June or so. We’re going to do the classroom portion in the late winter. I’m doing a one-on-one class and it will be spread out over three weekends, not the usual two. I simply want more time and don’t want to have time constraints. Tim is fab, answers any and all questions either in person (if he’s working in the shop) or via email. Friend was tech trained by Tim and has nothing bad to say about him.
