I understand your point of view on that, TDI Diver, and I agree with you to a large extent. But they did do some practical trials of their own. I am not ready to say they have caught up with any of the tech agencies. But I appreciate their research and analysis.
I believe they are moving in the right direction, because they have at least realized that they themselves dont have anything yet that is "safe" for dives deeper than 100 fsw in their own training program.
Since they are the largest recreational training agency, and since diving also involves going down to look at, if not penitrate, shipwrecks, they have discovered a chink in their own armour. And now they are trying to hammer it out.
By them reinventing tech procedures to meet their own needs, they provide a lot of food for thought for TDI.
