>The original post on this thread ( I forgot who wrote it) was about >the list of gear that TDI requires for their technical courses. >That list includes (edited) redundant bladder BC, drysuit, mask >etc... >Does anyone know if this gear is mandatory, according to TDI? Here is what's required for the course as per TDI standards: A. Bottom mix cylinder(s) ... B. Travel mix ... C. Decompression cylinders ... C. Regulator(s) ... D. Buoyancy compensator(s) 1. as appropriate for equipment configuration E. Redundant Depth and Timing Devices 1. air decompression computers allowed for use as depth and timing devices G. Redundant Light System (if needed for site conditions) 1. Adequate for the openwater environment etc etc... As per the standard, there is no specified requirement for dual BC. It seems to be optional depending on requirements for the dive (ex.: if diving dual Beuchat 140 with no exposure suit -just to exagerate a little bit ;) I understand that at least two depth mesuring devices and two timing devices are required. There is no requirement for dual-mask as per the standard (at least, this is not specified). > In >other words, if I were to take a course and not want to use a double >bladder BC in addition to my drysuit and wings, would that be >acceptable? I'm curious... That would be acceptable. I hope this helps. Michel Therrien m.therrien@ne*.qc*.ca*
