View Full Version : TDI Extended Range Diving and Introduction to Trimix Manual
O-ring February 14th, 2003, 04:22 PM Anybody else read the new version (Rev 3 - 2002)? This is from page 5.. "TDI will not tell you that you can only wear your equipment one way, that it has to be black or that if you breathe air any deeper than a wading pool you will 'narc out'" WreckWriter February 14th, 2003, 04:25 PM O-ring once bubbled... "TDI will not tell you that you can only wear your equipment one way, that it has to be black or that if you breathe air any deeper than a wading pool you will 'narc out'" but which part of that is not true??? WW O-ring February 14th, 2003, 04:27 PM It goes on to say, "Stop and think, what is education all about? Is it about making someone into a mindless automaton?" "We don't care if you use low pressure or high pressure cylinders. We don't care if you use a dry suit or a wet suit. We don't care if you breathe the long hose or the short hose. We don't care what color your fins are." This book is nothing but a TDI attempt to bash/refute DIR! Someone get me a lighter... WreckWriter February 14th, 2003, 04:30 PM O-ring once bubbled...

Pass the course, get the card, dive right. It is just so funny how they had to toss that extra bit in there "fin color" and "has to be black" and "wading pool"... ericfine50 February 14th, 2003, 04:32 PM Eric Get the "card" - Then no shop can say you can't get the gas. Get the correct gas for the dive and go dive, have fun. I am trying to do this myself. Eric WreckWriter February 14th, 2003, 04:43 PM O-ring once bubbled... It is just so funny how they had to toss that extra bit in there "fin color" and "has to be black" and "wading pool"... The other tech agencies are getting worried because so many divers are drinking the kool aid. WW wb416 February 14th, 2003, 04:51 PM O-ring once bubbled...

"TDI will not tell you that you can only wear your equipment one way, that it has to be black or that if you breathe air any deeper than a wading pool you will 'narc out'" It gets worse. There is no "pulling of punches" on their TDI Insurance FAQ's (http://www.tdisdi.com/insur/CInsuranceQuestions.pdf) Read down to the section about insurance coverage even when teaching other agency's course (all except GUE, that is). Interesting what corporate fear brings out! MikeFerrara February 14th, 2003, 04:52 PM A couple of questions. How is the spelling? And...do they teach you how to do anything or do they let you do it all the way you want. Chapter titles like this..... "Gas mangement, How Much Do You Think You Need?" "Equipment Configuration, Your Guess is as Good as Mine?" "Nitrogen Narcosis, Practice Makes Perfect" O-ring February 14th, 2003, 04:55 PM MikeFerrara once bubbled... A couple of questions.

"Equipment Configuration, Your Guess is as Good as Mine?" "Nitrogen Narcosis, Practice Makes Perfect" Yeah, the spelling is a little flaky at times...but nothing as humorous as you describe. I like the phrase (not exact here, I can't remember it) "Nitrogen is not inert for the purposes of diving. In fact, it can "ert" you very much! WreckWriter February 14th, 2003, 04:59 PM once you get to the real mix course it gets better. My book pushed helium over air with no doubt.

WW I am sure it is a decent book...the others were. Just having a little fun with it since everyone seems to think the mudslinging only comes from one side of the fence.. WreckWriter February 14th, 2003, 05:03 PM O-ring once bubbled... everyone seems to think the mudslinging only comes from one side of the fence.. They don't really think that. They're scared too. Everybody around them is drinking the kool aid..... WW O-ring February 14th, 2003, 05:04 PM WreckWriter once bubbled... They don't really think that. They're scared too.

Or do you prefer grape? ;) I've had sips but I'm not allowed to drink it in quantity. That's why I'm only a supporter of the diving style, not the agency that teaches it.

Why do you suppose they are so paranoid/hostile about GUE. I think IANTD and the rest for that matter just pretends they're not there. O-ring February 14th, 2003, 05:07 PM WreckWriter once bubbled...

Oh well, no religious conversions for me :) oldtimer February 17th, 2003, 08:03 PM I know there must have been a reason/purpose for this post in the first place , but I must have missed it....

Aquamaniac February 17th, 2003, 11:04 PM Page 38...... If you roll it into a tight straw, its great for drinking koolaid!
