This new video-based masterclass is based on the live presentation I conducted at 4 different dive centres while travelling back through Europe, each time I conducted a talk, I edited and improved the slides ready for the next, the time it took me to present this material “live” ranged from 1.5 to 2 hours at each venue. The edited "interactive presentation" is close to 4 hours long, double the length of me actually presenting the same content to you in person. It took me 20 days of work to edit this, full time around 8 to 10 hours a day. Easily over 150 hours of time spent editing this, it has 200+ video overlays added, and I chose all the best parts of what was presented from each of the 4 locations and combined into one masterpiece if you like.
