I just signed up for the padi navigation and self reliant courses... In the equipment needed post, a 100ft line is mentioned in the solo course.. far as I know the course is being mostly taught in a 30ft deep lake, anyone know if a depth is necessary?

Maybe they dive near them and act as an Octo in the wall? No reason they couldn't dive as an observer to ensure they are following the dive plan and executing correctly without interfering.

My SDI solo class had dives with the instructor and then two solo graduation dives.

A quarry near me was permanently closed to divers after a diver completed a solo diver course, did their first solo dive, while the instructor was on shore, and perished.

unlikely from the depth of the Quarry, even if so!! then what caused it?? my buddies were diving near by and the events say otherwise. I question the instructor and shops experience and professionalism here, care to comment here ABN FROG? What do you mean by unlikely from the depth of the...
