Yes that week for me as well, see you up there. I'm out on the Scillies trip in May as well.

Are you doing mod 2/3 combined or serperate?

If combined I would be interested

I did my Mod 3 with Rich and wrote a report of the course which I posted on SWM.
Our Mod 3 week - South West Mafia


What you will find is that you have to do all the usual drills but you will only do them on the ascent and not on the bottom. So you have a nice 25-30 minute wreck dive then 60-90 minutes of continual drils...just to pass the time.

I'm doing them combined. I've been using trimix in the box already since I did my OC trimix ticket with Deep Blue.

Thanks Steve, I'll have a read. I was diving with Kieran in May off Blue Turtle - I know him from London.

All you have to do is hope the tw@t doesnt sell the boat just before the trip.!!

My little poke at Richie,

We booked a trip with him last year through Warmwater diver then he sold his boat and canceled our trip at little notice.

Never mind, I am sure that you will eventually recover from that experience.

Grant, Mary didn't ask your opinion of Rich as a business man or whether you think he is a nice person. She asked about his capabilities as a Mod 3 instructor and what she could expect on the course. So if you have comments that you wish to adress on another matter then it would be best adressed on a separate thread.

I repeat as earlier that Rich is an excellent instructor. In my opinion I want to be taught by someone like him that has been there and got the T Shirt.
