TDI Advanced Wreck

[Manatee Diver]

So I scooped up the Advanced Wreck book that @Marie13 had up. Does TDI really think this pamphlet is worth $40?

I had it for so long I don’t even remember what’s in it!

Is it not that good? I was planning on buying it myself as a reference book. I was hoping it was like the Cavern and Cave textbooks they produced.

Not much apparently. I think it is the smallest TDI manual I have, I would be very annoyed if I had actually paid for this. I was similarly annoyed after the TDI Tech Sidemount elearning, way too little information to be a useful reference after the fact.

Well that's frustrating to know, but at least you saved me from spending money on it!!

Are you thinking about taking the Advanced Wreck class?

You aren't going to learn much. It took me maybe 10-15 minutes to read through the unique wreck parts of the book. It would probably take an hour to read through and complete the entire book.

I am debating combining it with a proper trimix class. No one is going to stop me from getting any mix I want in cave country, but I really should check the boxes.

I’m not even sure I had that posted here. I think it was just with the free for postage books I had posted on FB.

OTOH the book I did pay for I am enjoying. Been wanting Taming the Slough for a while, but the NSS-CDS never reprints it.

Advanced Wreck has been on my wish list for a while. But I went the Cave route first and got bitten by the bug! I still want to do Advanced Wrech though.

I had asked Jim Wyatt about his classes a few years ago but he said he was up in cave country most of the the time now.

Last time I looked I had narrowed it down to either Horizon Divers in Key Largo, or John Chatterton in the Fort Lauderdale / Pompano area.
