PADI Deep Diver course- gas management

[wetb4igetinthewater]

As usual, Wetb4 leaves out some stuff, but life is too short to argue with him on-line. Enjoy the echo chamber. No matter what corrections I might provide, he'll find some way to twist it to suit his narrative.

It would be nice if you would ever offer anything of value like corrections. I listed the performance requirements. That's what instructors have to teach to.

I’m serious I want to know what gf are prescribed for the course are they just left to the instructor?

How does padi reconcile the new gas density research with their practices.

it is a recreational course. What you are talking about is in Tec Deep.

 

[tursiops]

That's what instructors have to teach to.

Another misrepresentation. They have to cover that material but can offer more if they want; they just can't demand the more for certification. You know that; why are you afraid to say it? Does it conflict with your narrative?

Are there standards that dictate max bottom time, tables?

The gas density research applies regardless of it being a recreational class. If you’re accepting a 6.2g/l density in the recreational class is that consistent with the technical classes?

The RDP, your computer, nothing specific.

If you're asking if He is required beyond 100 ft, no. Nor in TDI, et al. Just GUE, as far as I know.

Think how terrified a (certified deep diver) might be if they get off the wreck and get lost and have to ascend in the open water in a somewhat emergency situation, when they have never been trained for it or practiced in a class under supervision?

Think of how terrified they may not be

Excuse me for quoting you but this is not about you nor is it about me

My first open water no reference choppy ocean ascent was in 100metres from 55metres solo with a seal

and then some more seals

and I wasn't, using a dsmb

in a shipping channel

Look at the magnificent seals. They actually belong there where we go

With zero training past OW as I choose to learn from experience is where the real training experience begins


Of course we must do courses, and the longer we treat each other like children, the stoopider we all become

Because you don't teach for the people, you took your minds out a long time ago
You teach for yourselves, and teach for the lawyers of the companies you work for

Doesn't conflict whatsoever. I showed what instructors need to teach. And it shows that it is a fluff course. The industry as a whole could provide a lot more value than what it does.

A good instructor adds the value. You may not have much experience with that.

LOL, and why is there so much PADI bashing? Is it due to the overwhelming percentage of good instructors? LOL

Actually, there is very little PADI bashing, considering the number of dive centers and instructors and global reach. On SB, it is mostly the same few people, over and over.

I've met a large number of quite good PADI instructors, and very few that are not very good. But I don't know your area, and I'm not really familiar with most of Asia except for the better diver centers.Asia seems to be a problem; witness the expulsion stats in the Undersea Journal.
