Wow.. You know, during my initial O/W, nothing really stands out except when my Instructor handed me my temporary c-card. That was cool. But my instructor told me he wanted me in his "adavanced" class in three weeks. So I did it. It was on that trip my first real fond memory comes: We are all at dinner talking and he was talking about each person and how they did in the class. (15 out of 17 were there for O/W) When he got to me, he said, "Dale was in my O/W class last month and after watching him on his cert dives, I told myself, 'This guy is a diver." That was very cool to hear coming from an instructor I respected.
