I am here to learn and that MIGHT mean I ask a question you think is dumb, thats fine... keep it to yourself.

Then learn. A sarcastic comment aimed at you doesn't stop you from learning.

JJ,
From here on out I'm done with rolling arguments... I have felt that I had to defend my questions.. No more.

By the way, the first 4 pages (and a few posts after) have been educational and I have learned from those responses.

Ok, so I apologize for the GUE statement. The only time we ever actually met I believe you were wearing the shirt.

You wouldn't catch me dead in a "I paddled the Gauly and survived" t-shirt because well I've never paddled the Gauly, so I'm sure you can see where I would mistake you for a GUE diver.

Seriously though, just lay off the criticism on the forums. I am here to learn and that MIGHT mean I ask a question you think is dumb, thats fine... keep it to yourself.

No need to apologize. GUE is an excellent training agency with very high standards. I'm glad to be mistaken as part of the flock.

Many of my closest friends pride themselves on their GUE accomplishments; as they should.

Personally, I would never go on a forum and profess to be cave diver while only having 22 dives.

Nor would I start a thread asking how to find a cave as simple and accessible as P2.

These are just a few of the many ways in which we differ.

Good luck in your quest for knowledge.

I am hereby enacting the "block nonsense" feature afforded to me by this forums software.

Dumb away...

only ever professed to be Cave1, and asked only because divers with higher certs than myself were unsure themselves.

But then I'm also done with defending myself so I'm not sure why I just responded.



See you at the springs.

Now I understand the real issue here.

You actually think a C card means something special.

Actual experience. Time spent underwater. Real world situations. Actual screw ups and subsequent solutions. And genuine bottom time.

These are the things that make one a cave diver.

The stack of plastic sitting on someone's dash is only directly proportional to the amount of money spent to buy the cards.

And has little value or consequence to me.

But I digress, my horse needs feeding.

I spent A LOT of time at Cavern before I felt it was time to take the next step (3 years to be exact), maybe you did not know that. I will probably spend as much time at Cave1.
I am currently in learning mode and will be for a while(the rest of my life). Would love to have valuable feedback from you but I'm sure if you don't want to be a mentor to new divers someone else will be. I am not a card collector or I would already be full cave.

Just saying.

I would think your gue training require you have a redundant horse.

[Draker]

I would think your gue training require you have a redundant horse.

A redundant horse would be an excellent idea.

As would some GUE training.

Sadly, I have neither.

[twaldo]

Sadly, I have neither.

I'll buy you a redundant horse or pay for a GUE class for you... if you get me a good deal on a custom drysuit ? because sadly the one I have is probably not going to meet your requirements for me, its a bit big.

Funny you should ask.

I just might know a guy...
