Diving beyond cert?

[34109411]

Quebec is a country? So one province of one country. I do not see anything in there about diving beyond certification.

it s just to say that here PADI or any other agency is not recognized. By law you need to do a specific training that only exist in QC, Different level of training a required depending of the type of diving you will do. The scuba police is out there.

Quebec is not a country but we are so different that why i don't dive her anyway .

Be safe

You are putting your instructor, the shop you got your cert, and the gear manufacturer at risk. If you have an accident, they all get sued. It takes time and money to show the paperwork where you agreed to dive within your cert limits. Respect your agreement and instructor enough to dive as you were trained and to the depths you agreed to. Just wait a few until you get your AOW done. This affects more than just you if something goes wrong.

In what country? I had instructors in Australia Brunei and Philippines. What gear manufacturer? MY DC from Shearwater so Shearwater going to get sued? My BCD from Scuba pro so they get sued. My regs from Apex they get sued? My fins from Aqua Lung so they get sued. My fin straps from Mares so they get sued? My mask cant find the name on it lol

if i take a certification and instructor give me a rathing and after i go dive with someone else and something happen to me the original instructor got nothing to do with this.

You go for your driving permit, they give you your license and after you have a car accident and injured people, will they pursue the guy how give you your permit ? Will they pursue the car manufacturer?

Iam not sure i understand how a manufacturer could get sued regarding level of certification anyway.

Turkey, Israel, Maldives and perhaps Egypt are also countries where scuba diving is regulated by law, which include- among other things- depth limitations on recreational diving. I am sure there are more countries with local laws and regulations other than training agencies' standards.

Just because you don't know doesn't mean they don't exist.

Yes apparently the mortality rate amongst the fish and critters they subpoena as witnesses is not great

I'm not saying they don't exist I was just asking. I already know about Maldives as I am diving there in November December.

In Egypt for recreational diving it's 40m. My buddy who is a padi instructor was asked for a deep certificate for a 40m dive. He didn't have a padi cert but had the TDI ANDP which showed 45m depth and was fine. He said the boat crew had never heard of TDI lol.

How hard I laughed Scuba police. Knowing me, I’d be actually looking for them like a paranoid squirrel.

I got OW certified (PADI) in May and have only been on a few dives since. I'd like to go diving again soon, but where I've been invited is generally 60-100' where all the interesting stuff is. I seem pretty comfortable, and am not terribly worried about the depth. I am signed up for AOW next month already. I'm wondering if there's any critical reason I shouldn't do these dives? Dive buddy is really experienced and reassuring, and I'm not above aborting at the first sign of problems or me being uncomfortable. Thoughts please?

Sir,

I have read through to page two, and very surprised to see just how many divers are suggesting you risk your life in attempting something for which you have no training or experience.

You're only a month away, from learning what you need to know. Things such as deep/peak performance buoyancy/navigation/deploying a surface marker/redundant gear/drysuit, to name but a few AOW specialties. I strongly suggest you wait.

Regardless of how qualified/experienced??? your dive partner is, you will be solely dependant on him/her, and what are you going to do if he/she should have a problem, any problem???

Anything/everything that's worth doing, is worth doing right.

There is an old saying, that I'm not particularly fond of, but nonetheless, you don't know what you don't know.

For all you naysayers out there who think I'm foolish, I would be glad to take you on a tour of any of my four funeral homes, to show you what happens to people who thought they could excel past their skill level.

Dive Safely,

Rose
