A stupid question. I once met a rebreather diver who did not have his deco or advanced nitrox cert. He told me that shops would only fill his 13cu ft rebreather tank with O2 as he was not certed for anything else. For what ever reason he was in my open circuit advance nitrox/deco procedures class.
How does this normally work? The guy was not the brightest bulb so i declined to ask him any more.
Looking at some online descriptions I gather he had his MOD1. I am unsure why with the supposed hours he had on his unit, that he did not take a MOD 2 course instead of taking the OC adv nitrox/deco.
Looking at training down the road brought up a couple questions.
If you have MOD3 or 4 will a shop accept this to fill your bailout bottles with trimix?
It also seems like that only thing from OC world that will transfer or apply (in the training world) to CCR is the adv nitrox/deco will allow me to skip MOD1 and take MOD 2. Is this correct?
(I know the value of time in water and juggling multiple deco bottles to CCR training, that is not a subject i want to get into here) ALso as i think about this, the reason all of this might have been confusing is that he had a drager dolphin that was converted to a full ccr
I appreciate your help explaining such things.
