anyone help?
I've been trying to find a thread in the archives but no luck so far.

It related to certified depth for PADI divers and included a quoted email from PADI International (UK) that stated that divers were qualified to a certain depth depending on 'training AND EXPERIENCE'

The upshot being that an OW diver with sufficient experience was effectively qualifed to dive deeper than 18m

Can anyone remember where this thread is as it is a pretty fundamental issue?

Thanks for any assistance.

dont think it works that way - i think it is UP TO 18m DEPENDING on experience

Same with the other agencies - you work up to your max depth, want to exceed it (say within the confines of insurance) you need to train to another qualification to get the greater depth

That's not what PADI said, read their response:

didnt get a reply on that link - can you cut and paste..

dont worry - read the post, well as the discussion said on the thread which was posted before if you dive outside of your qualification fine but I would double check with your insurance companies before hand what their view is

as I said earlier "you work up to your max depth, want to exceed it (say within the confines of insurance) you need to train to another qualification"

ie: in the context of insurance what the underwriter says is most important
