Tech Instructor & Doubles

[msandler]

Are you picking on my qualifications?

absolutely not! You may be an exceptional diver with thousands of dives. I don't know your qualifications, one would be stupid to pass judgement soley on cert level. But primarily, I have not dove with you. Many divers and instructors alike have advanced certifications but have no business in the water. I am merely suggesting (since the original poster never qualified the instructor level) that it may be permissable for an inst. to not be capable of a skill set that is not required for the course goal. We do however, know this particular guy is a TDI instructor. Personally, I have seen to many instructors who don't know squat and unfortunately pass bad and even dangerous info and habits to their students.

The cold came in within the period of time, and a cold north wind blew.
A course was finished safely by the cooperation of the persons concerned in local diving.

Helped put three sets of doubles together last week (first time for me).

first set took like an hour, then the next two took less than 20 minutes each. Just could not get the threads started on the first manifold. Don't know what the deal was, the next two were in like Flynn...

Koichi Tahara became TDI Trimix instructor at 3rd July, too.

Although it requires absolutely minimal intelligence to set them up, it may seem daunting to someone who is not associated with retail or service end of diving. For all you know he may have just dropped them at the shop every year and they did the rest. It does seem kinda dumb though.

Hey Yammy
What's the deal with your Koichi banners? I can't tell if you are honestly lauding him or sarcastically bashing him.

What part of Japan is Koichi based in?

I don't know what you think of in the doubt. :06:

I am insisting that a wonderful instructor is in Japan as well.
Tahara is a famous writer in Japan.
Don't you know Tahara? :06:
