The ongoing discussion about the benefits of OC experience for CC rebreather
diving reminds me about what military diving instructors sometimes say.
In several interwievs I've read they say that non divers are a bit simpler
to teach (rebreather-)diving the military way. Their point is the unlearning
of 'bad' habits. Non divers do as they are told. I think that the mineclerance
divers trained by the Swedish navy gets all of their training on the semi-CC
Interspiro DCSC (an upgraded AGA ACSC). This is a bit of the same idea as in
the Swedish airforce where there is no propeller training. All flying from day
one is done with jets. The argument for this is that the training is faster
if you train with the real thing.

And for Rich: 5/31 20/31 25/31 105/31 (rough metric depth conversion done
40m 90m 300m)
