Absolutely...it seems alot of these "seasoned" divers bash the various agencies on the primary/begining training...but alot of them forgot what it was like to startout as a new diver and how the instructor can make a big difference...looking at some of the names on the other board I recognize a few of them and to be honest at the time...some of them were challenges in the water...But with patience and perserverance they came thru...How soon people forget their roots...
