But you know what you know really well? The procedures. That's actually what it was all about. So I taught second phase. It was all about the procedures. I had to brief the classes. And I don't know if it was in the curriculum, but I would sit them down after pool comp and just tell them, please don't go recreational diving. You guys are idiots. You don't know anything about diving.

That test you just passed might have occurred underwater on open circuit gear, but it had nothing to do with diving. It was all about being able to follow procedure regardless of what's going on around you.

Yeah, so you were... Yeah, because I proctored 264, so I had just gotten there. Yeah, you had just gotten there, yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, that's the phase where it was a little slower than watch one, do one, teach one. Yeah, a little bit slower than that, yeah. It took a few classes for the instructors because it's a one-on-one and you have to know the ins and outs of the test. Oh, for sure.

And you have to know the gray areas of what you can pass somebody with and what somebody should be failed for from a procedural perspective. And that's pretty heavy, too. At that point, if they fail, and they fail twice, they get remediated.

and they can pass or take the test again the next day, Thursday, Friday, at least when I was there, they feel that Friday though, one again, twice they're in front of a board and it was, it's heavy to sit there and watch somebody who, you know, has a performance role already on their fourth attempt at pool comp. You feel like they're like they're performing well, they're a good dude.

And then you watch them start fucking up. It's a tough one.

Well, you know those dudes at that point, too.
