Should a CBL lift from 6m really take 1min?

[BigG]

Last year, when I did my CBL as part of my DL, before going into water, our TO explained what he wanted to see done for the drill and also that BSAC no longer allow a CBL to the surface, so we had to stop a 6mtrs separate then make our separate way to the surface and once at the surface resume the drill. I take it this has this changed again then as it seems the trainees where going to the surface from 6mtrs, or is it due to the fact that the CBL is done from deeper on the DL drill??

I never found out whether it was an urban/ diver myth about the rescue breaths on the fore head but I use that 'story' when my students complain about having to practice rescue breaths properly using the nose.

Does anyone know if it actually happened?

Also I was once at a training weekend where there was a real incident and nobody responded because they thought it was just another drill. The casualty was screaming in panic and people thought she was acting :-s
So it can be hard to get the balance right.

And as to putting negative feed back to people who just insult new people to a forum I don't think that is unreasonable. You gave a pointless unhelpful response so what did you expect?

You are missing the point. I know what it says in the manual and I know what I was taught. I want to know what other people think. This is why there is a forum, no?

And you've missed my point.

The time to have asked this question was when you were being taught or when you were being taught to teach.

I am not a zombie repeating things with out thinking about what i am teaching.

Asking after you have started teaching someone else is crazy and is exactly acting like a zombie repeating what you have been told.

yup a stop at 6m to show you are in control of the lift. I had to be the victim for Kath2407 when she was practising. that was 'fun' .glad i had a very very rich mix in the cylinders.

SD goes from 6m to surface , well it did 4 years ago when I did SD

Do you have all your students use a barrier to reduce the risk of infection during the training?

Actually I never insulted you, I asked a question.

Now, seeing as you've blobbed all and sundry we may as well do what we have been accused off.

Answering ridiculous questions, from a 'sheep-like' novice instructor and then being given grief when the immature childish 'so called' instructor complains just gets peoples backs up.

Enjoy your time here, all divers are welcome, but I (and I doubt I am alone) do not accept instructors that cannot think for themselves and cannot objectively evaluate procedures BEFORE teaching them to students.

We may not all agree here, but we do have a well thought out and valid reason for what we teach, otherwise why bother.

Now, run along troll.
