You seem to be saying that the *way* you lay the line tells you which way is out, rather than markers on the line (which is what I do)? >Common sense tells me that there is >alot more to wreck diving/penetration than the course teaches so therefore I >would not even think(maybe dream) of penetrating a wreck without further >training. > >On that note I would like to pose the question to all - what organizations >offer this type of course? And on a related note... What exactly do you learn? We don't have such courses in the UK, as far as I'm aware - even the CDG cave diving "course" is basically "read the manual, go cave diving" (probably, but not necessarily, with someone more experienced).
