Hi Ian you say that

quote:
I'm not too familiar with what CD's are doing in the RN these days but I do know from my ex FGN Trimix Instructor that military diving differs greatly from recreational diving, buoyancy skills not always being so important I believe. If you need a "civvy" cert then why not get one.

Well you need to have dam good buoyancy when you dispose of a floating mine because its not on the sea bed and modern mines go bang when you fart in their local area. My buoyancy is just fine ta, been diving for 18 odd year and teach to trimix thanks to Phill Short. your a Ouroboros diver and your set is very similar to mine. Cross over happen all the time and as the Hse will allow me to work the commercial field with my quals which i recieved from a non commercial company then why should i have to resit a civi course when the one i have just done is good for heliox to 80 mts. Think I'll ask a certain inst trainer and see what they say.
