Time For Fundies

[TSandM]

I think the biggest problem I had with Fundies was decision making. I had problems with things like having one teammate cork and another swim off into the murk, and I was team leader and had to figure out who to stay with and who to follow. Same thing with descents -- one buddy would plummet to the bottom, the other had ear problems -- who to stick with? Holding depth for a drill when my buddies were yoyoing was very difficult, as well.

I think one of the best things you can do before a class is dive with your classmates, so you all have an idea of your strengths and weaknesses before it starts.

Classes with "new to you" buddies are sometimes awesome fun and sometimes a disaster. Been in and seen both.

I guess I didn't do so bad after all in my fundies class...

Well, my half of the Fundies class had one diver with eight dives, diving wet; one with 16, diving dry, and me, with 60 dives and my phenomenal lack of diving talent. I called us the "they're hopeless but I have to teach them anyway" group

Wow, no wonder you encouraged me to take Fundies as soon as I could.
