I've already tainted his view of DIR and he uses a blended approach. He was setting it up using DIR videos. I took his 100ft cherry as an OW and laughed when he expressed concern his training org and buddies would find out he dove beyond his cert. He's now one of my deep air buddies lolSounds like you need to let him learn his own path
