WHY IT'S CALLED "TECHNICAL DIVING" Because CNS and OTU tracking, Calculating RMV, Configuring gear and = learning the skills needed to dive beyond established no-decompression = limits are not taught in a recreational course yet. Sure there are a lot = of other reasons but maybe some day you will be able to sign up for a = PADI Deep Diver Course and get this info. For now you must choose = whether or not to leave the nest and take on greater risks or to just = stay put and accept the minimal risks that present themselves to all = divers. "Rules of engagement were made your protection and the safety of your = crew." "I saw the shot, there was no danger, so I took it." "You took = it and broke a major rule..."

I can do that myself. Another question - why is this being called "technical diving", and since when do the students make the standards. Tom, we have some seriously flawed logic in all of this - you are the boss, you should be setting the pace.
