** I have also posted this on the Deco Stop so for any of you who read both, accept my apologies for the redundanacy. **
I was reading my TDI student outline in preparation for class next week and learned that the limits on intro are for a turnaround when 1/3 has been used (assuming you and your buddy have the same tanks). It also indicates that you use a value of 1/6 if using doubles.
It would seem to make sense then that an Intro diver using doubles would benefit from 1) increased safety since the second bottle is entirly reserved for exit/emergencies and 2) getting practice with doubles on your back while still in the intro stage (doubles must affect boyancy/trim etc.) 3) Time spent on the exit and exploring the entrance area would be GREATLY increased as long as your buddy has a similar config.
Thoughts....comments????
Thanks.
