ONE complete set of training standards need to be hammered out >by those who are in control. >>> Standards are just a place to get started. But from there they also have to be used. Training is where you learn a procedure, a protocol, a way to do something, but if its not followed a hundred times and is abandoned for some other method by try # 3 it all becomes moot. The standards are simple and clear. It starts with common sense. It starts with taking responsiblity for ones actions and for the trail you leave behind as you continually screw it up. One reason the WKPP has such a good record doing what they do is they have rules and they follow them. Why the US Deep Wreck Team (NOT USDCT) has such a good record is they have rules and they follow them. You want standards -- you got em. Now just follow them, for yourself an the tow other people on either side of you. and they will tell two friends and so on and so on. One day at a time, one diver at a time we will reach them. 1976 - Rocky Balboa --- You hang out with coconuts you become a coconut, you hang out with nice people you become a nice person, you hang out with morons you become a moron.
