Why not Fundies?

[jonnythan]

Quarrior, have you taken the class?

 

[jonnythan]

Do you have to have a canister light? ( I really don't know Jeff)

Absolutely not.

 

[lamont]

You only need it if you require it. (Hows that for a non-answer)

 

[PerroneFord]

Absolutely not.

I don't think I'd want to take fundies in a can light even if I owned one! I know three of the 5 people in my class owned them, but no one dove with it.

Thanks Jonny and Jeff. Well, sort of with Jeff.

I do not require a light where I dive but do carry a back up. I did think that was required.

Just looking at the GUE standards doc for Fundamentals. It looks as if you do need the light if you want to get the Tech cert out of Fundamentals.

Well, sort of with Jeff.

Water conditions and dive plan dictate what should or shouldn't be brought on a dive.

A warm water dive with 100's of ft of vis...the can light will be of marginal signalling value, but if you were going to enter a wreck...it might be handy.

Its about creating thinking divers DUUUUDE...now pass the hash.

Yea..but what does the standards for the class actually have to do with DIR?
