I note that with the compulsory presence of a 'Dive Supervisor' on the surface whenever and wherever technical diving is taking place underwater, that the Committee is still more interested in painting targets on operators for insurance company lawyers to nail rather than contributing to the improvement of technical diving standards in Australia. Meanwhile, the Committee ensures that we remain on thin ice in regard to diving accidents and more repressive legislation by enthusiastically sanctioning known and recognised idiocy such as DEEP AIR and INDEPENDENT DOUBLES. This Committee is regulating Australian technical diving into the dark ages. Where do they FIND these people? regards billyw --=====================_1391555==_.ALT Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii" <html> At 01:28 4/05/01 , Mantis Diving wrote:<br> <br> <blockquote type=cite cite>For the Aussie divers on the list I am scanning a copy of the Queensland<br> COP for Technical diving (8th draft), so e-mail me for a copy.
