I already said it to you in a PM, but CONGRATS DON!!!!!

I know you will make a great DM for everyone that comes in contact with you. Both from diving with you, and knowing that instructor person you had... I know you will have all the skills. Good luck with the EFR-I, and hope to see you soon!

Congratulations Don!!!!...

I'm right there with you and can totally relate to the tasking and work involved. It's a certification that you have to be really dedicated to in order to finish. I have had alot of fun as well and will be finishing this month...Whew!!!

Now on to the IDC in March and the IE in April...Did I say... Whew

Good luck Rawls...I had initally thought about doing the same with IDC but now think I'll work a year or so as a DM for the experience. We have alot of classes and students throughout the year so it'll be interesting.

Well done bud...........lots of hard work but it is worthwhile

 

[Don Wray]

Thanks Doc! BTW, I am very interested in diving Normandy sometime. From what I can gather, France will not recoginize PADI certs. I know there are some UK dive ops that go there. Are you familiar with whether or not they will recognize the PADI stuff or how does one go about getting to dive Normandy.

Congratulations!

When I started my DM, I thought I was a good diver. I was quickly humbled. I am amazed at how much I learned in the process of getting that cert.

As you look back on your experience, I hope you have a true feeling of accomplishment.
