Paul , I am not involved in training other than as a guest lecturer on a very few topics, and I do that for any and all . I have done it for Mount's classes, Errol's, and others. You are off base here. I have trained WKPP divers, but only in what we do -they already were long ago "trained". This is not my area. What is my area is the far reaches of this kind of diving. Since my team and I seem to be able to do that safely, what is wrong with everyone else? I think that has an obvious answer.
