A few weeks ago myself and other local tech divers have run a line out to a wreck that us about 2000' or so from shore. Average depth for the dive is only 60' with a max depth of 80'.
The entire run is in a very high boat traffic area, so we treat it as an overhead environment dive.
The problem that is happening now, is the local rec only shop's owner has been bragging about making it to the wreck and most of the way back on a single tank.
There has been a heated debate about whether this is a good idea or not.
It has come down to those with tech training say its a bad idea and bad form for a shop owner to be promoting this type of dive to single tank divers.
The shop owner is claiming that the dive was properly planned and executed, even though they didnt make it all the way back and had to surface swim part way in the high boat traffic area.
What are your thoughts??
