Just recently one agency announced a regulator training course. They are operating it in conjunction with a single equipment manufacturer - Edge. It is limited to one company's regulators and only offered to divers holding technical certification.
B. it is at this time geared towards those who have tech experience and training. Of course I'm also a factory certed tech for another manufacturer. Oh and the second day of the HOG/Edge course requires you to dive with the regs you just serviced. So if you screwed up you'll be the first to know!
Jim,
Thanks for addressing my question, but I'm still not clear (sorry, it may just be me!). Here are two different interpretations, and I'm not sure which one is correct:
1) Edge/HOG will support any divers in servicing their own regs, as long as they have taken Edge/HOG's own class, which deals with the technical details of servicing their regulators.
2) Same as above but in addition, the divers themselves must have had technical diving training (i.e. be "tech divers" who have taken a tech class from GUE, UTD, etc.).
I hope that makes my question and confusion more clear
Situation #1, I would understand and feel good about. If it's situation #2, then I would have more to say.
