With last year being my first year, taking three courses and getting all my gear in order and now diving doubles, I think I will take this season dive as much as I can, enjoy it and learn a bit more. Although I really want to jump into it, truth is at almost 100 dives I really don't feel ready for it yet. I still have alot to learn. Hopefully I will have the chance to dive with a few of the greats here and get some feed back on the things I'll need to improve on before I take the fundies. Besides you know me I'll be out every weekend, playing hooky a day through the week here and there and calling everyone looking for a dive buddy. Come next season I'll have well over 200 dives and another year of experience. I feel by then I will be ready to take on the Fundies challenge. Untill then i am going to sit back and watch you work your @ss off...lol...

I took it after 50 odd dives, and although I only went for the rec pass at first, I think I made the right choice, rather than diving diving diving, picking up "bad" habits, and having to correct them later. There was even a fellow in our course with only 4 logged dives... his OW dives, and I believe he got so much out of the course. I actually got a provisional at first, went and practiced what I needed to, went back after a month, and got the Rec pass. After getting a Rec pass, there is no limit to when you can go back for a Tech pass. I did that the following year, and Tech 1 the year after that. If you can manage it, I would reccomend doing it sooner than later! |

Thank You!
Thanks for the insight!
What you’re saying makes total sense now that I hear it from someone who has actually been there and done it. It is truly funny now that I think of it. The people who have been telling me to wait and get experience are the ones who haven't even done it themselves. I have learned a lot in my short time here. So not getting all sappy or anything, but you guys are opening some doors I was lead to believe were shut, or so I was told. Seems I already have a few things to "unlearn". Pretty much all the other people I have been diving with are heading to the Dive Master/Instructor area and nothing wrong with that, but it's not my thing. My main goal is to dive wrecks, I want to dive deeper and longer and do my video work. I’d like to put together a video library of the many great lake wrecks. It should keep me busy..lol. So I looked for other avenues, glad I found this one. This is where I want to be and where I want to learn. So I will ask and always listen to anyone here with input on courses or areas you may think I would benefit from, just as this one. Thanks’ again and great job everyone, I appreciate it Big Time! Ok, so could someone pass me the info, on whom to contact so I can figure out when and where the next course is and get myself signed up? Rob |

You can get all the course date at http://gue.com/?q=en/node/69s
Fundies at http://gue.com/?q=en/node/116 Once you register for the course($75 to register), you will be able to download the course material within about 30 mins. Best to check with Dan Mackay FIRST, to make sure there is a slot on the dates you want. You can PM him from Ontariodiving, or I can PM his email to you.
