I don't know about that. I was hitting 60-65' before the class. First day on the boat my warm up dives were to 70' and I was hitting the end of the 100' line and hanging. There were quite a few people in the earlier classes that did this. I am by no means a great diver, more mediocre than anything, but this is certainly possible...I just wouldn't go into the class expecting this. I believe the course has changed slightly and the ropes aren't set that deep on day one off the boat, I could be wrong though.

I believe the class in question is solely a verbal workshop and not an in water course.

Hey Head,

Your right! This is a one day lecture on how to better your diving and a way to get the most our of your gear.

The full course will not take place until mid summer.

This is a good inexpensive way to get some info and see if the course is for you.

I suspect that most will agree that a solid 4 days of training with the worlds best is the way to get better performance out of your skills, abilities and ultimately your sport.
