Hi,

True, BUT, giving an advice to your students to increase their safety factor isn't a negative thing especially on the last dives on MOD 1 which would become deeper than 30 meters and would have narcosis effects. AND, if the standards of MOD 1 changed then the insurance would cover the diver since he/she would be diving within their training limitations.

Best Regards. Wael

I think giving 'advice' to your students is dodgy, especially as moving to mix would theoretically allow them to dive deeper and therefore make them more likely to incur the negative impacts of using He.

Combining Mod 1 with a suitable mix qualification, or extending the standards to include mix, is the right way to go. No argument.

Cheers,
