I made the mistake of contacting TDI-Europe last year on how to become an
instructor with them. I was thinking along the lines of basic or advanced
EAN as a starter. The sent me back a form to fill out, do one dive with one
of their course directors, and they would make me a trimix and full cave
instructor. How can you pass up an offer like that? Luckily I did.

Isn't PSA one of those Russian airlines that keeps crashing?

Forget training for the narcosis, that's the least of his worries. He's
getting well over 3bar ppO2. I keep meaning to take the TDI Beat Oxygen
Toxicity course. Maybe I could apply to be an instructor for it?
