Just so I'm clear... we have people arguing that if they have two boxes of 15 cookies, and they eat 1/3 of each box... then one of the boxes falls off the table into the dirt... they think they have 20 cookies left?

The OP was concerned about expiring cards. But CDS cards no longer expire. Not sure NASE or IANTD expirations were ever addressed. GUE cards don't expire the same way, since you can renew at the Cave1 level indefinitely.So I say we go ahead and stick to the conservative training curriculum, it gives new divers the time to figure stuff like this out while they are closer to the entrance....

That said, my feelings on the issue may stem from the fact that I refuse to go too far, too fast because I want to feel 100% comfortable at the level I'm at before I progress any further.
@Imbodie you have 2/3 of the gas of that particular cylinder available, but only 1/3 of your actual gas volume that you started the dive with when in sidemount

I'm way done here, tbone figured you out pages ago.
Not sure who your NAUI cave instructor was but they should be embarrassed since you don't even understand your own sidemount cylinders, nevermind a buddy's doubles manifold.
And I guess your course never had more than 1 failure at a time.
Exactly what I'm doing with Cave1 , very happy with 2 nav decisions seeing how I've only done 1 nav decisions on any of my dives... I was cavern for 2+ years before taking Cave1.... and now having moved away from Cave Country will prob be Cave1 for 5+ years before I make the next move... do plan on an adv nitrox/deco class sooner than that just to be ready when I do want to make the next step.

ALL I'm saying is make a training standard STANDARD for everyone...
