Gear setup requirements by agency

[seeker242]

I'm not intending to go full hogarthian lol, at least not just yet, but I do know that I won't dive PADI standard setup as all my previous training was on primary donate.

I did all my PADI classes, besides OW, in full hogarthian. Not a problem.

If you read your PADI training materials carefully you may see that primary donate is one of the options.

I'm a PADI DM. When assisting on classes, I am in a twinset, complete with long hose primary donate. As is the instructor.

Thx I did read that but it also states the only option that will be taught is Octo which gives the impression of a preference or possibly even a standard. The reality is that LDS have to stock gear for rental and classes and standardisation makes sense. My question was essentially has that standardisation become ingrained to a point of inflexibility. The experiences related suggest it has not and that's what I was looking for.

You are thinking about your gear configuration, and asking some good questions. A good instructor will welcome the opportunity to work with a student like you, who does that. Please let us know through the thread how your re-certification goes.
