Very true. The cave community had the only non-recreational certifying
agencies until a couple of years ago. Today they are springing up
everywhere. Some are too profit oriented to suit me, although a recent
addition looks very promising.
Anyone seeking specialized training would do well to check out the
instructor's qualifications as well as the certifying agency. Some time
ago, I heard the head of one of the technical diving agencies made his first
mixed gas dive AFTER his first class of tri-mix students surfaced from their
first mixed gas dive. Ouch!

To everyone on Techdiver:
Since I'm new to the list and have a tendency to jump into conversations
with both feet, I thought something in the way of an introduction might be
appropriate. I started diving in 65 and am a cave diver with deep/mix/dpv,
etc. experience. I feel strongly about certain subjects and will state my
opinion. It is just that, an opinion -- feel free to disagree. -wg
