Having passed the academic portion of the NAUI Master Diver program a few weeks ago, as of today I am now Officially Entered as a DM candidate through my LDS.
No one is more surprised than I am.

Very cool John! Now get ready for that 450m swim! Although, I'm beginning to think that the skin ditch/recovery is harder (especially for those of us fluffy people who don't sink as easily as others)!

From one John to another, congratulations! I had no problem with any of the water related portion of the course. Though being chalenged in areas like physics and word play I had my moments of doubt. Next step is becoming instructor.Having passed the academic portion of the NAUI Master Diver program a few weeks ago, as of today I am now Officially Entered as a DM candidate through my LDS.
No one is more surprised than I am.

Great stuff John!
No aquarium, no tank in a marine land, however spacious it may be, can begin to duplicate the conditions of the sea. And no dolphin who inhabits one of those aquariums or one of those marine lands can be considered normal.
