I could have sworn I read his post and it said "additional training may be required to do this".....maybe I'm wrong, but that seems to tell me he's saying you need additional training if you're not already certified.
Cmon, let's not be a pack of wolves jumping down someones throat here. Anyone who takes a basic OW class should at least know enough about the dangers of oxygen in high pressures that they leave it alone until they get training.
First, the information cave diver is giving is incorrect. Second, I believe a instructor has a higher standard of responsibility to provide correct information to those who are not. "additional training may be required"? Where does the "may" part fit in? Sadly, I also disagree with your statement that "anyone who takes a basic OW class should at least know enough about the danges of oxygen in high pressures". while most OW training gives this lip service, the student is overwhelmed with new concepts and ideas in the short period of time required by the agency to become certified. Moreover, diving to 60' or even 130' on air as specified in most agency standards as the limit for OW and even AOW training, you do not come close to 02 hit territory. I would make a bet with you that the vast majority of students are not able to identify the acronym CONVENTID (or any other acronym used to help remember ox tox symptoms) and they will have next to no knowledge of oxygen toxicity or its symptoms. In short, as an instructor, we have a higher standard of responsibility. Adding some fine print that is misleading at best does not remove that responsibility.
