DIR- GUE Thoughts on Halcyon Symbios as an entry point into CCR diving vs a specialized tool?

[RedSix]

Sure people can reconfigure, but the GUE folks aren't actually trained or familiar with how to dive with 2x 3L.

So you know all GUE CCR Cave divers?

 

[Mas.]

Do you think they are right or wrong to do it, and why?

I think they are right to keep assessing new ideas. It is always a best practice to revisit every part of the training philosophy, and test it every year if it still beneficial, and for each group of divers.

This include for how long should they keep a standardized equipment configuration, and for which group of divers.

Would you suggest starting from scratch with a mod1 class for that configuration? Why/Why not?



This is not my level, so I am asking out of curiosity. How would you actually do it?

People can self teach these things, not everything needs to be a class. But if you're in a closed community that has fairly rigid perspectives on the point of the lp50s it's like swimming upstream to appreciate that the "just add stages" to lp50s is actually a subpar approach as a cave CCR.

If you can't figure out the KUR approach to backmounting a CCR with onboard suit gas and O2 and offboarded dil and SM BO without a class that's probably a good sign that you're not the cave diver you imagine yourself as. We all start on the left-ish side of the dunning-kruger graphic.
