    I didn't seek training thru an agency but rather by seeking out instructors.
    Tyler Moon and Rose Meadows co taught cavern/ Intro.
    Rose did spent./full cave
    Larry Green did DPV for cave/overhead environment
    Greg Such did adv intros/decompression procedures, trimix1, adv trimix, basic gas blending, advance gas blending.
    So I have certain from CDS. NACD, and TDI

    CDG (qualified 1990) - since I sponsored Forrest's application to join, I can technically claim to having taught him!

    Well, once we were diving in Jackson Blue and I pointed to a tunnel I thought we should take, so technically I can say I guided him on a dive!

    Good one

    I think Kelly's poll has gotten pretty hijacked. BTW Kelly, what was the purpose of the poll? Yea I know it has been asked already.

    I loaned him a sidemount BC, Hollis SMS100, when he showed up in N. Alabama without a BC.

    Agency of Certification? Certification? I know I was supposed to do that, but honestly, when you have a plastic card machine it's pretty easy to make #### up and it's rare anyone questions a slick plastic glossy photo ID. then again I don't go anywhere that would! Besides, everyone knows that experience is the BEST instructor!
