Fortunately, the likelihood of catastrophic gas loss is very unlikely. Plus the odds that it would occur at the deepest point in the cave when cylinder pressure at its lowest makes it extremely unlikely.Yes that is Rhodes, I am thinking of going there in May. I see no point in naming the op as from what I am finding out is that the great majority of dive ops have this "lax" attitude to diver qualifications. That is not to say they are necessarily unsafe. The guides are usually very competent and very familiar with the dive sites. Although lax in some respects I have seen them refuse dives to people who are certified but have not been diving for a while and also refuse people who are drunk. From the comments made about my posts from several Americans I think they would get quite a surprise at what goes on in southern european holiday diving.
But that doesn’t mean it is safe. Just playing the odds that are in one’s favor that normalizes deviant behavior.
