Brad your are testing the unit and playing about with it, will part of the testing include a Joe soap diver to see what sort of problems he has with the apoc seen as this is the type of diver it is aimed at.

The short answer is yes that has been done, and is (will be) ongoing in a variety of countries. Obviously the exact definition of who a "Joe Soap" diver is varies depending on who you speak to and where.

As far as I am aware OSEL have formally used 55 different test divers in a range of diving enviroments over the past year. This is in addition to those used as human dress dummies for things like harness sizing and general ergonomics.

Those that have dived the Apoc as far as I am aware cover:
Commercial (Sat)
Military Divers & Supervisors
CCR ITs Cave/Trimix
CCR Instructors Cave/Trimix
CCR Divers Cave/Trimix
OC ITs OW/Tech/Trimix/Cave
OC Instructors OW & Tech/Cave/Trimix
OC Tech/Trimix/Cave
OC OW Divers (through to DM)
Unqualified

Obviously, some of the divers span more then one skillset and to give an indication in the week prior to DEMA for those that dived on the Apoc, IIRC diver skillsets consisted of:
Commercial (Sat)
Military
CCR IT Trimix/Cave
CCR Instructor Tech/Trimix
CCR Diver Tech/Trimix
OC IT
OC Tech/Trimix
OC OW
Unqualified (supervised try dive only)

Brad
