List,

Here are the promises of IANTDs' Deep Air and Advanced Deep Air program;

Deep Air:

This program has been developed to provide responsible training to divers
who plan to dive to 130 fsw (39 msw) on air. The IANTD Deep Air Diver
program trains divers in skills, performance, theory and planning of deep
dives. This program remains within the commonly practiced depth of 130 fsw
(39 msw). It is the first sanctioned program to provide proper international
training in safe deep diving skills and performance. It is recommended that
this program be taught in conjunction with the IANTD EANx Diver prog ram;

Advanced Deep Air Program:

This program has been designed to provide safe training to those divers who
carry out diving to depths greater than the commonly practiced depth of 130
fsw (39 msw). The IANTD Advanced Deep Air Diver program provides training to
160 fsw (49 msw). It is a tightly supervised program concentrating on safety
and control of oxygen and narcosis risk. This program also provides training
in many advanced forms of diving technique;


And if the diver is not comfortable diving deep air, gee does this mean deep
air is a standard for IANTD and that fearful divers can be baby sat with
Normoxic mixes, then the IANTD, the dixiedivers, will train you to use
Normoxic trimix:

Normoxic Trimix Diver:

The IANTD Normoxic Trimix Diver program is aimed at those who wish to dive
in the zone between 130 fsw (39 msw) and 200 fsw (60 msw) but are not
comfortable doing so on air. The course uses Normoxic mixtures and consists
of 12 dives and one three (3) hour confined water session. Six (6) dives are
on air to depths between 100 fsw (30 msw) and 130 fsw (39 msw) and six (6)
dives involve practicing specified skills at depths between 30 fsw (9 msw)
and 90 fsw (27 msw). All dives will be performed with two (2) stage
cylinders. Four (4) Trimix dives are also made in the course with two (2) at
depths up to 165 fsw (50 msw) and two (2) at depths up to 200 fsw (60 msw).
This is an intense seven (7) day program enabling the graduate to be
qualified to dive Normoxic Trimix to 200 fsw (60 msw). It does not qualify
the diver to use hypoxic mixtures to participate in dives deeper than 200
fsw (60 msw). The text for the course is IANTD's Technical Diver
Encyclopedia, associated Technical Diver Workbook, Slides and newly
developed Water-proof Tables.

This is too much!

correct in their views on pavan, the guy was, and will as he continues his 
currennt actions, to be dangerous.
