I'm sure you'll be able to understand this...Walter:If we put our minds to it, I'll bet we could come up with several more.
PoseidonSv:No nothing illegal, I was wondering if I needed to come uop with a new Agency on my own to get me certified om my own built and constructed Rebreather. And in that case i could just as well certify myself to any level I like anyway.
which brings another question do we really need so many agencies and different courses for different rebreathers?
NetDoc:As a board we really only restrict people from telling others that they can learn how to dive or dive in an overhead environment without being directly supervised by an instructor.
Here's the text.TOS:This is a safety oriented board. While there is a lot to be learned here, we strongly advise against learning how to dive, how to enter an overhead environment or any technical diving on your own. A formal class is the only way to do this safely, and we encourage you to avail yourself of as much training as possible. A competent instructor will be able to see safety concerns that you might miss. Consequently, we forbid our users from promoting such conduct on the board either directly or by implication.

catherine96821:what's it mean when spelled with a K, Walter?
that you are a radical hippie?
pupdiver:But, showing a certification card from an agency is the same as making the statement that you have completed that training from that agency. Isn't that a fraudulent claim? Isn't making a fraudulent claim illegal? If you come up with your own agency are you going to come here and complain that no one besides you recognizes it?
The picture isn't clear?Walter:You, my good man, are mistaken.
