PADI doesn't own the world... And I have no interest in their cards.

That would break so many standards it'd not even be funny. Firstly, you can only do one adventure per adventure dive. So the deep dive is only the deep dive, regardless of whether you see a wreck on it..

And secondly, when did you ever hear of a padi course that went into deco?!

It doesn't matter what org you get a rec card from - NONE of them are going to introduce deco in the AOW course.

No in the AOW course its called "simulated deco," its definately an introduction to the concept and how to react if you get that tell-tell DECO obligation from diving your computer too nonchalantly. It doesn't prohibit ID'ing critters while stopped. but I don't think you can kill 6 specialties in 2 dives regardless, look at the forest people.

Yes, that is correct - Nitrox can be combined. But not the others though.

Thanks btw.

Ignore him Bob, he drank the cool aid and wants the world to know how much he knows and is trying to prove it by bashing PADI.

He hasn't proved much to me in any of his postings....

Best,

Wait just a minute! I thought the amount of PADI bashing you do is directly related to your skill as a diver!

No that is how you get the +10 rating on your EID card.
