I'm not even an wreck diver.

I was here last year and I learned SO MUCH. These guys are the real deal, and I could not have had a better time.

Seriously can't recommend this enough. I saw stuff and learned things I never would have been able to see and learn. It was an outstanding weekend.

Awe! Too bad, I don't have the requisite training to attend (and I'll be in Point Lobos on the same weekend). Maybe in a couple years after Tech1.

We have a few who have already signed up for this weekend. Don't snooze on it. If wrecking is what you want a taste of this is a great way to get ready for the real meal.

email me with any questions or just call me on my cell.

Looking forward to another great class this year.....

[JS1scuba]

We have a lot of interest in this weekend, but only a few have signed on. Like last year the last few days this trip ended up with a waiting list for drop-outs. If you are interested in joining us for the workshop or just for diving we encourage you to sign on sooner than later.

I am so in for this trip.

Just cleared the decks. Can't wait. Diving these sites on a boat loaded with people that know what they're doing, people I can learn from, with no real hurry to get in and out??? Its one of the best weekends of the year for me.

Can't wait!!!!

Dude - he kicked everyone's butt at pool.

You and I just kept going back and trading off - only to do the walk of shame back to the table.

It was not my finest hour.

I already have plans, unfortunately! I'm going to be getting home that Friday for the first time in two weeks. Give me at least 2 - 3 months notice and I can make it happen. This is just one of those I want to do classes.
