What would your ideal training agency look like?

Have we figured out the cool patch yet?

AoW is still current and yes max depth IN TRAINING is 30m 100' (the same as OW is Max Depth in training 18m/60'

Adventure diver is a subset, requiring only 3 adventure dives

By Contrast BSAC is OWD 20m For sports diver post certification you then make 3 depth progression dives 25, 30 & 35m So my interpretation (not a BSAC instructor just ex Student, is that Cert doesn't automatically give you depth progression

Certainly in the Dive leader section (DM) it clearly says Optional Post Qual dives to 40m, 45 & 50m only conducted after award of certification

@KenGordon should clarify

Yes, SD is 20m until the depth extension dives are done. They are easily arranged though.

I personally wold re Model AoW - possibly more inline with Sports diver, perhaps without the Deco aspect I'd prefer some improvement in skills and abilities for 30m diving - however as people progress upwards then I'd insist on basic deco training (lose deep and replace it with a Tec 40 style course)

I once tried to persuade a senior *DI bloke that an SD alike course between AOW and AN/DP would be an idea. He poo poo’ed the idea on the basis that it takes many times as many dives so would cost a fortune.

Sounds like a job for you!

I’m only capable of designing stick figures so I’ll have to outsource that bit.

But in terms of color scheme, I think we should pick yellow and orange (perhaps green, too) to represent the prismatic hue of snot that develops between 12 and 4 meters during the ascent.
