So it looks like we are about 1/2 full for this class so far. Plenty of room left if anyone else is interested in this.

Thank you for doing this Brian!

This is just good basic diving gas planning principles that apply to most any recreational diver regardless of how they choose to dive. I heard someone say they learned more last night about gas consumption than they did in a class they spent money on. For some of us who have heard it before, it was a great refresher.

Evergreen Dive Services was a great host. They bought pizza and sodas and everyone had a great time!
