FIT Course...
First, this does not change my interest in a class with Jon if one is arranged.
Ok, I've got to get some training on how to dive better and safer. Instead of a random spearing trip, I think I'm going to opt for a class. I contacted Dive Fit and asked about haveing a course run locally. It would take a solid commitment from 6 divers and about $1000.00 each to bring Martin up to cold water. Not bad really, ~$600 each for the class and we would have to pay for his travel, ground trasportation, hotel, pool any boat fees, etc.
The other option is signing up for one of their classes and going down there. I'd go with a group to that too and help drive down and back. April or May would be when I'd look to go.
With travel and hotel it would be about the same to go there, maybe a little more. But the water would be a little different. Just a little. But judging from the attempt to get a class with Jon, local would be tough to get a commitment to.
So to be realistic, at this time I'm going to plan for the April class. If anyone else can commit to that and split the travel and room cost, great! Lets get the ball rolling and start planning. I want to pay before the end of the year to save the $100. I would really like to get it scheduled by mid Nov. A class with my dive buddies would be cool so we are on the same page though.
