Andrew,

this frightens the bejeesus out of me.

Can these guys sell any IANTD course if they are the official IANTD
representatives. I hope not!

I realise this is a fledgling operation, but a similarly sized outfit
here, Mandarin Divers (Aberdeen HK), has a tremendous amount of
experience in all aspects of technical diving including rebreathers (at
least 5 types that I have personally seen). These guys regularly gas
dive/blend etc, all the things I would expect an outfit to be competent
at before they teach tech diving.

I know you are a responsible, fit guy, but given your (relative)
inexperience as far as tech diving goes, I am horrified that they
require you to give them guidance.

Perhaps this is something Tom can comment on?

rgds and safe diving to all,

JT
