I have not taken any technical dive training, so I am curious about this topic. Recently, a technical instructor has indicated that he was "OK" with exceeding the no-deco limits and continuing a dive causing the accrual of a (moderate) decompression celing without the benefit of redundancy.
Is this consistent with current technical training? Is reliance upon a buddy's gas supply considered sufficient redundancy in this sort of situation? Based on training guidelines, would this be OK with a buddy and maybe not OK while solo diving?
Do the technical dive courses discuss this sort of thing or is it left to the discretion of the instructor or the diver?
