NACD Instructor standards violation

[descent]

I'm sorry, but I fail to see the humor in this. ...

Exaggeration is the heart of satire.

Downfall mashups are generally trash, but this one has a good premise and a great script.

I was laughing so hard that people came to check on me.

I thought it was fantastic...

My favorite is still Hitler isn't AOW, with the "weird doctor lady".

Sweet Jesus! That is probably one of the greatest things I have ever seen! A million thank you's.

This was just posted over on CDF. I about died watching it. I figure it will be pulled fairly quickly so here is the link.

It's my understanding that this standard violation was Rob teaching an intro to cave diver trimix in lower orange grove. This has been a rumor for at least close to two years. I wasn't there and won't guess if its valid or not.

Seems odd that it's randomly looked into after so long. Part of me wonders if it's more personal conflict than enforcing standards.

That is interesting.

I checked the 2014 NACD standards. The intro class has a "limit" of 100', the full cave class has a 130' limit.
However the standards are very much unclear about whether the term "limits" only applies to training, or as post certification limits too.

And if theses limits do apply to certified divers, as they would need to in this case, how can a full cave certified diver ever do a Trimix class in the first place?

Rick, can you enlighten us on how this example James quoted would technically break standards?

I was surprised to learn that at least one technical diving agency (PADI) allows some trimix training (and even pre-trimix technical instruction) within a cave environment. The instructor does not have to be a cave instructor. Both the instructor and student must have full cave certification, and the student must have at least 60 logged cave dives. Not all caves are appropriate by the standards--I don't believe lower orange grove qualifies.

I think you are mistaken.
