I was wondering what the legalities/standards would be for an instructor on enriched air.
Specifically, lets say I am using a 40% oxygen mixture for my dives when taking out an open water class. Our max depth is around 45 feet. If there is an emergency, and I give my octopus to a student to use, would there be any liability towards me as this student is now breathing enriched air at depth? Although I know I am well within the 1.4 ata partial pressure of oxygen, I am wondering if I could be legally pursued due to supplying enriched air to a non-trained diver.
