AMEN! It wasn't until AN/DP that something "new" came about for me..... but then again, I was "engaged" when I was a student and really was passionate over the learning process.

sorry if this comment results in a hijack....

At the end of the video, I asked for our viewers to post their name, where they are from, what agency they were certified through, and their highest level of certification. I want to do the same here on ScubaBoard and see just how many other agencies are still active in training scuba divers, and where most are located.

I really, really hope all this cool data you get is summarized in some cool graphic & shared here.
