I can't think of anything better. It was so much of a lot of fun. Your passion and knowledge are truly amazing. You pay attention and strive to improve everything. I also love your enthusiasm for capturing details, new equipment, tips, etc. You can take these photos with your camera and use them in future videos. Your online training videos have a special place in my heart. These videos prepare you for the in-water training. In fact, I believe this is the key to the steep learning curve. The time spent underwater can be utilized efficiently. Steve, we are grateful for everything. Nils, Cheers

Steve, thanks for the section on the online course. I found that I learned more online then I had expected. Your videos are very well made and help me to grasp a lot more quickly than I could from books or other materials. I intend to recite the most important lessons before going on the water course.
