...Yeah it sucks- I'm OC Trimix qualified and am abit miffed at having to drop another grand or so getting a card but I figure I'll have a week away diving with a good instructor, treat it like a holiday, enjoy myself and put the costs aside... afterall if its difficult then I really wasn't ready and needed the training more than I thought, if its easy- well then its easy and I get some diving done- no great lose.

IMVHO

Is there 5 days of material...? As you move up the upper levels of diver training, there is a lot of bleed over...

How many times should one start from scratch...?
Training agencies and Instructors need to have the flexibility to cross people over w/ minimal hassle/overlap...
