 hi,

 a while back I commented on tasks instructors use to
 make divers deal with stressful situations in the upper
 levels of training (ie- speciality and technical divers).

 After some private dicussion I have "seen the light" and
 I'm comming around to the idea that putting divers under
 stressors in a controlled environment is a good lesson
 which helps them deal with real life emmergencies in much
 the same way practicing rescues makes you a better rescuer.

 (Australian Navy Clearance divers get this same training
 so they can deal with strange situations as well)
 
 So I'm interested in tasks which instructors use to put
 divers under stress and what the instructors hope the
 student learns from the stressful tasks.

 Note I'm not an instructor and I'm not planning to go out
 and kill myself trying to get out of a heavily padlocked
 box in full scuba or something, I'm more interested
 in discussion on how a scuba diver has to think in
 crisis situations and how instructors are teaching this.

 comments?


 MAx.
