Rescue Diver Metric???

[vf84pc]

I live in the states but travel for my job so most of my diving is done internationaly, so I use metric even in the US. I want to purchase the course wear for rescue diver but the "metric version " is double the price. What is the diference if any?

I have the same problem. For tables and stuff, I ended up buying one version and photocopying and laminating the others so I have both. It's a lot of stuff when you have nitox tables too.

As for the manuals, I don't think there's a difference. Padi usually gives examples in both imperial and metric in their books. It's been a while since I did mine but at the moment, I can't think of any difference.

I don't recall anything much in Rescue being concerned with units and any there are they give both in the manual. One of the few things was oxygen flow rates which is usually discussed in liters anyway. I can't imagine what the difference would be, it's not like there are tables.

should mention, this was PADI.

I have just completed the SSI Stress & Rescue course and all measurements are available in metric & imperial. Your issue might be unrelated to "metric" but the price being asked. PADI may be different.

Hi, I'm a Japanese (a very metric country) living in the US, and I've completed the PADI rescue course without any problems. As said, I don't think there's too much that relies on units in the rescue diver course. Just get the imperial one.

Problem's the DM course.. it's soooo confusing when the class is done all in imperial, and then I'm doing all my calculations in metric.. Some day, US will adopt the metric system, and then the whole world will be metric! not!

PADI sells the rescue book there is no metric or imperial version. (Different languages yes, metric vs. imperial no)

Looking through all the padi books i have (up to and including dive master) and it simply mentions both units in the form of metic (imperial) or whatever.

Makes far more sense than printing entire new books.
