Using A Long Hose Isn't Just For Tech Divers

What does that have to do with anything?

No offense at all but,

"Not certified, no logged dives, Edmonton."

You're posting...... why?

The point is that "we" have to deal with what is..., what should be it be? Well, I'd love to rewrite half the the NAUI manual.

What you have to deal with doesn't necessarily make it right. You have to teach air sharing on your knees-what's with that? My point it, there is a better way to do some of this stuff, and it CAN be taught if one knows the difference. Even in PADI's guidelines, I believe you can teach beyond the requirements IF you teach what they require at some time. I'm paraphasing because I'm not an instuctor.

This is getting into another discussion altogether, and I don't want to further hijack this thread.

LOL ... he got me with that one once too.

Either Jeff is having some fun with his profile, or he's the most well-read uncertified non-diver I've ever imagined ... I'm still trying to figure out which ...

Sounds like you need to switch agencies *wink*

Google is a handy resource...

but some things can be said for seeing content as it is...it can either stand on its own...or not....

I'm still wondering what/why the Jab at Edmonton...

there you go assuming again....
careful, it'll get 'cha one day. Might not make that 27 more you were talking about. If you look into my profile you'll find that I was trained by mostly the same organizations as you.
First off, I was replying to a poster who was talking about a rec rig. A single tank, no overhead, no roll-off.
Second, you do not donate the long hoes because it is on the right post, you donate it to facilitate exiting an overhead where single file swimming is required during an OOA situation. You do, or should connect it to the right post for the reasons you mentioned (I'll give you that much). Two different things. Further more, the diver may be diving singles with one 1st stage or dual 1st's and a Y or H valve. No one mentioned doubles as the whole conversation has been revolving around rec divers using the long hose.
Quit reaching for straws...

you are so wrong. I didn't make this sh@t up, it comes from the wkpp as standards for overhead diving by the NSS-CDS. and those are the exact reasons that the long hose is the primary and the back up is for the donating diver because if it doesn't work only the donating diver will know and be able to fix it.


This is the perfect example of not knowing history and blindly following a cult that jacked everything from the NSS-CDS

Actually, I'd like to rewrite about half the NAUI manual too. I once offered to ... but Jed Livingstone decided not to take me up on it ...

FWIW - one of the advantages of NAUI is that you can "augment" your class with your own material. Many of the better NAUI instructors do. I usually tell my students to read the NAUI materials in advance, and for our classroom time we'll be using materials that I wrote.

If you're NAUI ... you can too ...
