Now try it staying off the bottom in a full wet suit. One thing that you'll find is that a weight integrated BC will make it much more difficult.

Here we go again with having to call PADI, woops ... write PADI for yet another standards clarification. I wonder if it is within standards to use a BP/w then?
Do standards require and exposure suit and weightbelt?
If you read the requirements carefully you will note that it requires the use of "one air supply". It doesn't require that it is that of either of the students doing the exercise. Having a tank and long hose weighted to the bottom would make the job a little easier. My instructor pointed this out AFTER my buddy and I completed the job...the SOB![]()
??? Can you elaborate as to what you are referencing?I do not think it is a violation at all.
In confined water, have divemaster candidates demonstrate the ability to solve unanticipated problems underwater,
This argument has been discussed a number of times.
Unanticipated Problems can mean lots of things. An instructor is encouraged through the whole of the dive master course to simulate real conditions. This is obviously simulating low or no visibility.
My mistake, I have misread you, I thought you had said blackened Mask was a violation.
I do agree, that having a tank on a long hose is a violation. yes.
My reference was the blackened mask. I do not believe this would be a violation.
