Lots of folk get all irrational when you mention scuba diving (the solo bit) on your own, the amount of times jaws have dropped when I've brought the subject up sigh ... I think its because they feel threatend, and I don't mean physically endangered, I mean it goes against what certain training agencies drill into them over and over and it is something they, specifically, wouldn't do, or they haven't matured or mastered their diving to the point that they can think independently of the courseware and instruction that they have received over the years, and start to grow on their own.

I'm taking this course soon, just trying to book the time off: http://www.tdisdi.com/index.php?did=60&site=3
