Subject: RE: What is an "Extended Range Diver"?
Ken I believe it was in my email footer where you saw "Extended Range" 
mentioned. I put it there along with other qualifications so that people know 
where I am with my diving when they reply to me on diving subjects, not to 
impress. I dont want someone flaming me for not knowing the answer to 
something that is covered in Trimix or rebreather courses as I havnt done 
these as yet.

The extended range course teaches you to use up to 100% O2 to accelerate deco 
on deep air dives to 60m. This is the most useful to me as the English Channel 
wrecks are rarely deeper than this.

Regards
Lawrence.

Subject:  What is an "Extended Range Diver"?

Yesterday I had some free time for the first time in a few weeks, so 
I looked at the techdiver archives.

I saw in there someone who said he was a "TDI Extended Range Diver" 
in his signature.

I've always wondered this; What exactly is an "Extended Range Diver"? 
Why should I be impressed? 

I've seen people like Hal Watts offering courses in "Extended Range 
Diving", but always just assumed it was a clever ploy to seperate 
divers from their money in exchange for another badge, but could 
never prove that. Is this indeed the case?

Thanks for the answers,

Ken
