Yes..
Everyone will be required to get a certification on this CCR.. I have to work out all the details for a crossover, proof of proficiency will be required to qualify for a crossover instead of a full class..

The electronics are a definately an area where complete knowledge is an asset, but the assembly/disassembly of the rig and the proper packing of the scrubber is just as important.

Some very experienced HH users have already committed to crossover classes.. No one is exempted..

I don't think you are being a jerk nor directed directly at you but...

From a manufacturer's liability standpoint he has to require a crossover.. Several of my first students are Meg instructors and some very experienced HH users.. I am 100% sure there is going to be alot of repetition, but I am also 100% sure I cant teach them something they dont know..

My next comment is not meant to be a smart ass,

If you think there is nothing you can learn from training with someone else, then you shouldnt be diving.. I have experience with many rigs and always look forward to working with someone who has intimate knowledge of the new rig, and always look forward to discussing ideas.. There is always something to learn....
Ok... I have no problem stating that I am one of the "Committed" I just read through the ANDI CCR Training Materials that Joe sent me and I am looking forward to the crossover class. I think it will be an excellent oppertunity to brush up on some skills, learn a couple new approaches... "ANDI" and meet the Manufactures requirements of getting a formal "Cert" on the rig to cover liability.

Thanks!

Mark
"Committed"
