The situations (plural) that I am thinking about were not in any way 
shape or form related to training.  These were dives that put the 
divers in hazards by the use of techy gear.  A simple rig would have 
been "Doing it Right", and been much safer.

These are situations were people are so over geared that I might need 
a HELMET, to protect myself from them in the water ;-).

The guy may have been practicing. You gotta learn somewhere. If they 
got blown 
out and limited to inshore wrecks they may have been planning a 
deeper 
penetration dive and ended up all dressed up with nowhere to go.


I have buddies who practice their cave diving skills on inshore 
wrecks that you 
couldn't get trapped in if you tried. They can still practice line 
laying and 
working together as buddies, etc. and it's more interesting than a 
quarry.
