Hello all,
I just have a question regarding what type of classroom education I should have before starting my tech training, and what is considered extraneous. I plan to start my tech classes this summer. My instructor does his tech through PADI, so it would be tech 40. Now, about me. I am a second semester BSN nursing student(and a NR-EMT), and in addition to my A&P classes I have studied the respiratory and circulatory system on my own time and I would say I have a better grasp on the subject than most OW divers. I am also currently reading steve lewis's wonderful book: the six skills and other discussions(not that it seems to delve into complex physiology, a great book none the less). Now, this summer on a lull from school, and all the heavy readying/studying, I hope to start some of weinke's heavier material. So, my question is: is knowing this stuff down to a molecular level "majoring in the minors", and too much not needed information to dive safely and knowledgable in the realm of technical diving?
Thanks guys
