Good one Cris, I thoroughly enjoyed reading your report and being reminded of the details. Great fun Indeed!

It was very kind of you to think I deserved a Tech pass. I'm flattered but I will have to disappoint you. It was Recreational.

Also thank you for reminding me of the DSMB incident. I still remember it clearly as if it was unfolding in slow motion, dropping the spool, it hitting the deck and slowly rolling and falling through the gap! (I want my little ratchet reel back please...d*mn spools)

About the course over all, I can only add to the praise as others have done before me. In one word: Superb! However (and this is a very personal thought), due to the sheer volume of Information (practical and theoretical) the course is attempting to impart to students it is my inclination to say that it needs one more day. One final day of just diving where simple scenarios can be devised to put the learned into practice (again and again). But that's just me!

A big thanks to all, so much that I'd be happy to do it again anytime!
Stathis

Clare probably did ... but I was falling behind so naturally I forgot some things .... Barbara got her cheque at the end of the day and all bills are settled so all's well.
