Valerie - You are the most entertaining DAN instructor ever AND you have such inspiring props and freebies (need I mention the application of certain...shall we say..."specialized" products as bandages???)

Way to Go! Congrats, Buddy!

yay, valerie! =D>

we just got our EFR, O2 and Advanced O2 cert's with valerie. she's a great instructor, and great fun to boot. of course, it doesn't hurt that she's canadian - you just can't beat that sense of humor. and the real world experience of her everyday job as an ER nurse really adds a lot to the instruction.

i hope i get to do some diving with her one of these days!

No, the mat was a gift from someone else. DAN sent a pretty cool crystal (like?) trophy thing.
