Nice Job Jeff! Quite a number of accomplishments and dives! in 2 years.
Are you preparing for DM? That would be your next logical step towards
a prefessional career? Keep up the hard work... Dive dive dive...
Cheers,

Cards are cards. The only training above that I thought wasn't very useful was Boat, and it was a freebie. Even at that, the wife gained some training in tying knots during the boat class. I was just reviewing stuff I already knew, so I guess it wasn't completely useless.

working on nitrox.
Im kinda new to diving. Got my first cert. 6 months ago. Only 22 dives...But, I got my eye on lars2923's list!!
Hi divers, well I am not going to go head to head with the list of cert cards here, but a little about me and my diving style.
I have over 1000 dives life time and dive from 25 ft shore and river dives to cavern, and off shore wrecks
I dive single AL80 up to CCR.
Now the controversial part, my CCR is of my own design.
I work in the compressed air industry in new product development and with breathing air system design for over 20 years.
So before you go off saying this guy is nuts and will kill himself on a self built Rebreather, I have the back ground to design and build what I fell are better than commercial units.
I do not expect you to agree with my above statement as for I am only one man with one mans opinion, but its mine, and my safety is also mine as well.
What I have done is taken all the data that I have researched on commercial made CCRs and make every attempt to design out the known flaws of each unit to make an even better CCR.
OK by now you are most likely saying man this guy has a big head and is probably complacent, well that is not the case and that is what will get you killed.
Sure I have a stack of c cards, spent good money just to go through the motions and get the next c card, but I agree with =
Just like quoted before in prior post there is no replacement for experience.
You are responsible for your own safety.
This is my dive style.
Every good rebreather was designed by one guy......don't be so hard on yourself....Dave Sutton designed the Inspiration rebreather, and look where it is now!
