I thought deep air was a real money maker - no expense, just go deep, =
but "teaching" solo diving would put TDI one up on Hall Watts in the =
pure "money for nothing" category. What do they do, tell you to go =
diving and mail them a check?=20

Listen, enough of the funny stuff : If you want to learn anything about =
diving that is worth knowing, will be true throughout your diving, or =
even makes any sense, give TDI a wide berth.

  Subject: Solo classes


  My nitrox classes were through TDI and although I do some solo diving. =
I have set limits for my self to no greater than 30' and usualy only =
solo in area's that are set up for classes like a local lake near me or =
a quarry. I definately see the dangers in solo diving but I had heard =
that TDI offers a class on solo diving. Is this true? I am takeing =
advice and working toward trimix but I see on the list of classes for =
that progression is deep air. I have heard that debate on hear before to =
and understand the mechanics of using trimix and definately see the =
benifits. Where is a good place to go from nitrox to doing timix and =
deco if deep air is not in my plans.=20

  and again the other question just for my own curiosity does tdi and =
others actually teach a solo class.
