Last weekend I took and survived Advanced Nitrox and Decompression procedures with Don Kinney / ETTS-ETDS, out of Hoodsport n Dive. 
A lot of learning but my form sure improved a lot by the last dive. Dive masters were great. Mike (DM) brought his video camera so we could dissect our performance in the evenings. It turned out Ryan, the other DM, was the person who had spotted about 10 blue barred pricklebacks at the Yellow House months back--so it was fun to meet him in person.
Thanks all for your help and advice on putting my rig together. I went with a DSS BP/W setup, talked with Tobin about a 49 lb wing vs 57 and ended up going with the 57.
WOW How stable a set of twins are once underwater. A lot of mass but very steady. And fun to have all that gas on your back (at least once i am in the water--a tad heavy just standing around).
Now to work on my frog kick...
