You are all completely wrong!!!!

Tech diving is not a higher diving level it is a lower diving level, and you need more gas to do it, so you are more full of gas and that is the mark of being young.

The older I get it becomes obvious the less I really know, so since you have to learn more to be a Tech you must be young minded.

Tech ratings should consider these points and you should start at a 10 and work your way down to being a 1. each new cert should be a lower level than the last.

I really do not think just because someone has learned something I do not know yet that they are better than I am, I am certain that I have done something in my life that no one on this board has ever done, even if it happens to be cutting off one of my fingers, but does that make me better than everyone else? so this whole rating thing must be turned around. after all is a nine fingered diver better than a ten fingered one? Is a blind climber of mt. everest better than a sighted one?

where was that jar of lithium pills.
 
I'm gonna give this thread a big bump, because it really is fair to assume that the MOTT is a good benchmark in some respects.

It's not perfect BUT it does show you work your way through the levels until you get good enough at something to crack on with the real holy grail of tech diving - The Rebreather :)
