thats my favorite part, Phil asks me what gear I am using, I tell him, he faints, he recovers, he gets over it, and then we go diving.
he did accomplish talking me into using a manifold between my two tanks, which i wasnt going to do, and also into getting a drysuit, which i wasnt going to do either. he can be very persuasive, not just Mr. Nice Guy all the time.
agency issues aside, when the best of the best is TDI & PADI, what does that tell you? its time to lose the agency flames and look at the instructor individually. GUE, DIR, TDI, and PADI are just words.
