Subject: 3 man teams - not for training
From: Capt JT <captjt@mi*.co*>
While I'm on my soap box,
Three man buddy teams have no place in diving instruction.
Why the hell not??? Would you rather they practice as 2 man teams, =
never learn proper 3 man team protocols, positioning in the water and =
positioning in an emergency sitiuation, and then when they dive in the =
real worl and a clusteruck happens in a 3 man team they aren't skilled =
or practiced enough to know how to react???
Perhaps you should step off the soap box and think through what you =
say before you spout it..
=20
When two people dive together, they each divide their time between =
what they are doing and what their buddy is doing.
When two people are diving in a class situation with an instructor, =
the students each divide their time between what they are doing, what =
their buddy is doing, what the instructor is doing, and hopefully trying =
to learn something. THIS IS A THREE MAN TEAM!
Maybe in a bullshit class this is what they do..
When three people are diving in a class situation with an instructor, =
each students divides their time between what they are doing, what buddy =
#1 is doing, what buddy #2 is doing, what the instructor is doing, and =
hopefully trying to learn something. THIS IS A FOUR MAN TEAM! How much =
do you think the student is really going to learn in this situation?=20
The instructor isn't part of the team during training so what are you =
talking about???
In the pool I can see 4 to 6 students ( in two or three teams of two =
buddies each ) to one instructor. In open water it's two buddies to one =
instructor......especially in the overhead environment or decompression.
Ted, then perhaps you need to revist your protocols and spend some =
time doing the drills in shalow water where you can simulate failure and =
not worry about you or your student being in decompression should a =
problem happen..
Later
