My LDS said that a qucik ascent from 41 ft (even with breathing - I was) is very bendable.
The deeper CESA is in Rescue/Master not OW, and is not "teaching the skill" but "demonstrating the efficacy of the skill" - an "experience" exercise - different course, different goal, with far more experienced divers. But my point is that a proper CESA from 40' after just a few minutes at that depth just simply isn't a big deal. If Scuba446 is talking about a "bolt" rather than a CESA then we're talking apples and oranges; there is additional risk in a bolt to the surface. "Controlled" is the key issue.tampascott once bubbled...
Rick,
Why do the required CESA from 41ft? Isn't 20 ft sufficient to teach the skill?
