| It was only a provisional, it doesn't feel like a real pass, the congrats go to Jim (Tech Pass) and MAC (Rec Pass) oh and Davwardo for being my buddy It was also nice to meet Mark Powell and I think Bardo managed to get the handles off Mac's "doubles" Davie

I haven't come away from any of these course feeling 'macho' at all - far from it. They seem to be very humbling things to undertake for most people and those that may have had a 'macho' attitude before the course usually come away from them with a different mindset altogether. I've also read GUE tech course reports where 'out of gas' and 'primary light failures' have been abundant. I'd sooner have read a report about the course you did rather than a veiled attack on other unspecified training courses, especially those that should not be compared with a 'fundamentals of diving' course in the first place. Well done on passing the course though Davie; it's no small achievement by all accounts. |

May I ask what course you were doing when masks were pulled off and air turned off without warning? I find that completely crazy!

It wasn't mean to be a veiled attack on anything to be honest All I was trying to say was I took demons into Fundies that had no place being there in the first place. We had a blast on Fundies although our heads where so full of everything we learned that the only thing that managed a decent sleep was my new torch ![]() Davie

The knock on affect was that it gave me demons in my own head that I took to Fundies and had no need to take. Davie
