> If there is to be a set >standard & instructors for rebreathers then we need instructor trainers >(specifically if you 6,000 miles from the manufacturers). The level of skills >between an IT for a recreational (say90ft) unit & a tek unit (are there any on >the market?) must be vast, let's hope the manufacturers have the balls to lay >the law down to the agencies (& I have an interest in this as well as many >others). Here is a synopsis of IANTD Instructor Standards: 4 day course (pool and open water), written exams for both ratings. I am uncertain at this point as to PSA (on the way) and TDI standards and have not seen IT ratings for rebreathers. Rebreather Instructor (for dives up to 130 feet): , 300 logged dives, Advanced Nitrox Instructor certified as a rebreather diver (or equivalent military or commercial experience), complete manufacturers rebreather course, minimum 10 hours on rebreather to be used for future courses (must be requalified for each unit to be taught). Technical Rebreather Instructor (for rebreather diving past 130 feet): EANx Rebreather Instructor, Trimix Instructor. Log of 400 dives, 30 on rebreathers, including 15 on unit instructor will teach with (min. 20 hours bottom time). Completion of Manufacturers course. Qualifies to teach only on specific manufacturer's unit. Also are included requirements for continuing education and teaching activity.-Dave
