"We thought we were hotshot, envelope pushing, bad ass [sport] divers.. If they said don't go solo, we went solo... If they said stay above 130', we rushed down to [173]'.. "
[thats all true, plus you left out that i also have about a dozen rescues of other divers who thought they were good too!
by the way, below 173' for me the N2 narcosis is extremely overwhelming, so i dont recommend it to anybody.
i signed up for T.D.I. with the toughest, best, boat-captain instructor trainer in Central California. all my friends who thought I was going to get killed by now are glad i am in fact under his wing, and they have new hope for me. dont worry, it will be find.
i do plan to take the G.U.E. course in the future also. as you know, i have already adopted a number of G.U.E. principles.]
