Global Underwater Explorers DIR Fundamentals Class B

This DIR-F class was scheduled for 8,9,10 September 2004.  Typhoon Songda blew in on 5,6,7 September and had everyone nervous about getting the class to go.  Fortunately the first day was classroom, so the ocean had an extra day to calm.  With guys from Class A chomping at the bit to finish, Sonya had quite a job on her hands.
