With the amount of diving I do and in the conditions I do it in, you need to have good gear.Quote:

While I understand your wish to get classes over with, could it be an opportunity to explore other sites to dive now that you can solo dive? Could you mentor a newbie to remember the fun, fear and excitement of when you started?Quote:

You are a remarkable individual and having such fun in a unique sport. Lucky you!
Work is now grumbling about me wanting to take 7 days off at the holidays to even go fun diving in FL cave country.
And since I will mostly likely NOT have the current class finished, that means I won’t be able to take full cave. Current class is a prerequisite for full cave. Going to FL at a different time wouldn’t work as there will be no one to dive with. Lots of people down there at the holidays.
I wouldn’t have a chance to get to FL at the holidays for two years due to having to take turns with coworker even though he won’t be traveling at holidays.
That is disappointing in so many ways including scheduling which I didn't realize.
Disappointing? It’s extremely discouraging. It would be so easy to just quit and sell my gear. I could probably sell most of it very easily.
But can’t let the people who would prefer I fail have the last word.
I'm sorry, Tradd. Maybe a chat with the coworker??
