All it takes is a fifteen minute conversation unless you're doing a big dive. Even then, would you be doing a big dive with a new buddy anyway?

Not knocking GUE (they train amazing divers), but by training outside of GUE (with equally skilled instructors), I saved enough money to buy a scooter... I would never skimp on training for $$$, but if the quality is the same, why pay more?
