From daz88: Why would a recreational diver be forced to conform to the same standards as a commercial diver? Is the rec diver working long hours and doing stressful work under the water? Is he getting paid for it? NO. If the water is rough, or viz is no good, or whatever reason the rec diver can skip the dive and go drinking or whatever. The guy working underwater doesn’t have a whole lot of choice about going down just because the viz isn’t that good. (or whatever)
People should dive to their physical level as well as their diving skill levels. And if they don’t…..oh well, I guess they would be diving long. You can’t fix stupid. I don’t have the same physical level (on lots of things) as I did when I was younger, but I have a higher skill level on many things than when I was younger. Hopefully my brain has improved over the years as well. If not, oh well……I won’t be around to make stupid decisions. Too many laws out there already just to protect the stupid people! Lets thin out the herd a little. J
