See my post from last night.

Scuba diving, good or bad, has evolved way beyond a natural set of people
more into the general population. There are allot of open water divers that
I have talked to or worked with that I would place in the "natural" category
and this configuration (DIR for OW) is perfect.

What is left is the rest. They range from the 4~6 dives a year, blue water,
< 60 fsw types that this type diving is just for them. To the want to be at
should not be, that this could be like putting a gun in their hands with the
knowledge, skills, mind set, or ability to use it safety and correctly. They
will become the statistic we all wish not to have.

Q: Will she start to think of herself as tech diver

David,

Shouldnt we all think of ourselves as "tech divers", in so much as every
dive
needs to go perfectly, or as near as possible as we can get to that ??  What
is
the true meaning of quality in relation to the diver and what should an
"open
water" divers goal be with respect to equipment, planning and attitude, if
it is
to be some measure less than perfection ?

(and yes I know the commonly accepted definition of  the tech diver term, I
am
challenging you to think beyond the label)

regards,

al marvelli
