Because someone forwarded my posts on this topic to jed livingstone, the training director of NAUI the following is how it has to go if people want tech standards. Order them from NAUI for about $36.00. (1-800-553-NAUI) Jed says anyone can order, not only NAUI members. Order the standards and procedures manual and the tech standards are in the back. You can also get them on diskette and then register on NAUI's home page for automatic updates. Also it is maintained that Jeff and Tim did not author the standards, although I personally still believe they were key persons involved in the development. They were on the committee so keep that in mind if you want to register comments with them. NAUI training ultimately has the responsibility so sending your comments directly there is more useful. address: 9942 Currie Davis Dr., Suite H, Tampa Florida 33619-2667 Again, if you want changes it can be done, but I was not told for certain when the next changes would be made but was assured they would be made quickly when necessary. For myself, I was glad to hear that because I'm not taking a jersey up-line on every dive I make or putting biodegradable line on all my reels when I have no intention of leaving them or putting so-called oxygen covers on all my deco tank regulators when I teach. (sorry Dive Rite no sales here, although the wings are great) I would like to support NAUI in their technical endeavors but as the standards are written that isn't posssible. But I'm just one measely person/instructor without a store. Apparently several stores have signed on with them and the standards as written. If more people are dissatisfied, please write to them and maybe some changes will occur quickly. It would be nice to see NAUI succeed in this. susan p.s. hello jed - I'm sure our friend will forward this on to you so I just thought I'd say hi while I had the chance, of course then again he may leave this part out. -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
