  • What is it like to be trained by Edd Sorenson? It's safe to say that Edd is a tough instructor! Jonathan and Todd discuss their KISS sidewinder training with Edd the very evening after finishing the week-long class.

    There is not many legends left in the world I'm afraid but Ed Sorenson Is definitely a legend. What an honor to learn from him. He's so strict in his class because he doesn't want to have to go recover any of his students bodies one day. So he makes sure you are competent.

    "You gotta be f**king kidding me" OMG 😅 A humbling experience. At least there's only going up from there.

    I’ve been watching both you guys and Ed a lot I just started diving about two months ago. I would love to visit Ed’s shop just to meet him. Btw Todd I heard you say you have been diving for 39 just for the record you don’t even look that old. Stay safe guys and keep diving.

    I have 200+ hours on my winder, I just did some changes to my setup. I spent an hour swimming Edd’s loop in the cavern just to make sure it was dialed in how I wanted it. The more you dive it the more you’ll like it.

    Like the military, he broke you down to near tears so he could build you up as divers. Great job you guys!

    When I got certified back in the back on the early 90s my instructor would joke with us all the time in the classroom or on the pool deck. When we got into the pool at the shallow end he got a little more serious. When the regulator went in your mouth all jokes were off and he was deadly serious. Some of the best times I've had. Glad I learned how to scuba dive because I have so much fun doing it. I've gotten very comfortable with my gear so I can relax and really enjoy the dives.

    I had a flight instructor who reminds me a lot of Edd, and specifically your experience with his teaching style. He was about Edd's age as well. The first flight I did with him I nearly broke down into tears. Today, I am so incredibly grateful for everything he taught me, and he's like a grandfather to me. Why do I think that this is exactly how you all feel about Edd? What a great mentor to have. It was really cool seeing this parallel in your training video with Edd, along with this vlog update.

    I just completed my GUE Fundamentals and this reminded me so much of that! The task loading was far more intense than a standard OW course. It's so nice to hear that other, far more experienced divers, feel like this too :)

    Jonathan & Todd, I loved this vlog. It was fun and entertaining. I'm a non diver myself. I started watching Dive Talk with Gus & Woody over a year ago only because they were reacting to a Mr. Ballen video and I was hooked on them. That's how I came across your channel, is by one of their videos and their suggestion. Gus & Woody have a special place in my heart. Late August of 2022 I attempted suicide. Once I got back home, they were the first people that made me laugh since my attempt. I get a lot of peace and laughs watching videos from all of you. You, Dive Talk, Edd, Mike, Brian and others have become like an extended family to me. So, again, congratulations on passing Edd's class and thank you for what you do. I cannot wait to see where your new training brings you in the Blue World.

    I did my class in JB with Edd and I am not cave certified. I went to Edd because I wanted to rise above my skills and be better.
