Sport diving and armed forces frogman / naval work diver training

[Anthony Appleyard]

An ex-naval British frogman / naval work diver trainer once told me that "sport diving encourages a casual tourist-type attitude to being underwater, which can be hard for an armed forces frogman / diver trainer to overwrite with a proper disciplined armed forces attitude to doing the job as ordered and not getting distracted by pretty fish or desire to explore, and as a result he preferred trainees who had no previous experience of sport diving". Are there any group members who have knowledge this way?
