That is an amazing venue and price. A normal course costs about $600. to $700. alone, add in air, hotel, meals, it is an excellent price. Doing all this in the Biminis off a nice Hatteras even better.

I think Walid was off island when I was there for the NP Meeting. I don't know him by reputation, could you give some of his free diving and related background?

Thanks!
