There seemt o be two issues in the quote that Andy posted.

One is the training for going to sea.
I reckon most of us agree that there is nothing worse than the Dagenham Navy using smbs as turn indicators etc etc, and also divers that put to sea ill prepared.
I'm a BS-AC DO and my understanding is that the BS-AC 'recommend' that there should be a Diver Cox on board a Rib at all times, therefore we encourage our boat handlers to pay for their own courses, as BS-AC members, naturally the majority take BS-AC courses.

The second issue is in the final paragraph,
Are these guys really getting into trouble?
Is the suggestion that this type of diving not be performed from RIBs?
I've never tried, sticking to about 40m from a RIB.
