Max depths for various qualifications

[JamesW]

Adv Nitrox actually gets u to 45m as well - just no deco unless done with deco procs.

TDI Adv Nitrox is now 40mts.

Is it still there? Think there's a few holes in Glasgow that have said safety carpets. Everytime I go home to Glasgow, everything seems to have changed :P

Oh yes indeed it is.

Yup, I think that was established about 40 posts ago

Judging by the responses it was 45m, and they've revised to 40m.

I've dived below 40m on air in the past but wouldn't do it again. I think a 40m depth limit for all recreational air diving would improve safety.
Does that answer your question.

And you really think anyone would actually listen to that rule, especially those already qualified to deeper?

People just wont pay 8x the normal dive cost for a 40m dive when they dont have to.

Not really a law student anymore - finished in 2005

I had an equity lecturer who was obsessed with offshore trusts - probably the only equity course that required tax textbooks. Got a 120-140 page handout on offshore trusts/tax avoidance (though he would say evasion :P) which was some part of his coming textbooks. Anyways, knowing his very anti-position on offshore tax havens, I handed in a rather pro-offshore essay (I remember the cases but not the names - essentially it was a cat fight between the pro-offshore law lords, and the anti - the essay was framed on teh basis of - if this case had come up today, write the judgement) Sadly, I didn't get a first for it

Though I did manage to pull the prescribed text trick to good effect in one class - Legal Systems of Asia & Africa - went to it about once in a year, wrote exam questions saying "Menski [the lecturer & textbook author] says this, Menski says that, Manski is a god" and managed to pull a 2:1 for that class

I managed to get an exemption in Roman law despite not going to half the tutorials and about two thirds of the lectures. To this day, I still have no idea how. Trusts and tax? Now that I actually do know something about.

O.K should have said a 40m limit would improve safety if people stuck to it. We'll have to see if BSAC actually change their rules or not. If they do I'll be interested to see what happens.

been a while then, my 2003 card says 40M on it.

Yup, I always thought it was 45, but my card says 40 too, however looking at some of the course standards at the time before we did the course some still said 45m (indeed you could probably still find some sites that have it listed as 45m).

Oh yes indeed it is.

Just for the record, Oran Mor run a Clatty's night on a Saturday night.

I remember being at the original one night at uni, wearing shoes that you could hire at the door for a fiver, and standing at the bar watching a bird puke on the floor.

A guy next to her stormed over to us an said

"Eyes off, shes mine."

Oh i miss it. I actually have a painting of it in my living room!

I assumed on mine (done in 2006) as there is no depth it allowed you to use up to 100% oxygen to whatever depth your other diving qualifications allowed.
