I still don't think they understand the cost of the trip - or LACK of cost for the trip!
Maybe it needs to be explained again, with a question on the quiz, just to be sure they grasp the concept - $40 for the WEEK.
Even Steve gets it.

It's all HER fault!
I can't help it if the students I have this quarter aren't interested in going to Florida for a week, paying $40 for the entire WEEK to cover their lodging and meals and only having to cover the entry fees and transportation costs associated with getting to Florida and diving. Apparently they have better things to do and want to certify in Ohio in the cold. Did I mention I teach at a university...apparently it's the school for the thermally deranged BesidesBer :lilbunny:
was that remark geared toward me

I am with TED, Do I have to sign up for a class or can I just come along and be the extra hand or the fat old guy that students might get stuck with in an insta buddy situation? I promise not to take them past the tubes without permission
I have 8 staff including myself with spots already reserved. I'm not against taking a couple extras since I know you guys but only if I have spots available after the students and staff have made their claims.
Let's complete the hijack. We stay with some friends of mine when we make this trip hence the inexpensive cost. I send her the cash to cover the cost of groceries, she feeds us like you would not believe. We cram a bunch of people into their house (they have a family of 4, I brought 13 people last year--that's pretty much maxed out for the house) and sleep slumber party style on air mattresses on the floor for a week. We help out around the house fixing whatever has broken in the last year and we dive.
There is limited room so students get first dibs. Right now none of the current students are interested but a couple from previous classes who haven't certified yet are considering going.

We can drop to PM's on this and end the hijack
