The person IMO. The internet is a great place to aid in research, FAQ, and intelect bannter, but to rely on it as a total learning tool in replace of Instruction is down right foolishness on any level from OW to CCR diving. Its interesting to post and ponder on the web, but do people really believe...

I remember that Dave Thompson said something in the past to the effect that some people will be all right learning thru the Internet, and some will need a more hands-on direct supervision approach.
I have no problem with contributing to the cause, but I still can't get over the questions of...
