TDI training limitations...

[SuPrBuGmAn]

TDI cards do not distinguish between being trained in doubles or singles.

Hey Tim,

Good weekend?

sounds like your buddy needs a nice NAUI Cave 1 card .

Les

Buddy trained at intro level.... received NSSCDS Basic and TDI Intro cards...

TDI card specifies following limitations: Max depth 130' w/ 30' vis, no deco, no restrictions, reserve 2/3 air supply to exit, continuous guideline to exit, at least 3 lights/diver...

Is single tanks assumed....?
Card makes no reference to advanced topics; navigation jumps, gaps, curcuits, traverses

TDI's site is lacking on detail....

Whats the scoop...?
-------------------------------

Yes - they are diving 6ths...

My NACD Intro card clearly defines the allowable diving limitations based on the certification. The Doubles certification is noted, as is the "expiration" date which was 1 year from the date of certification.

Ginnie has had no problem with this card. The Intro (w/Doubles) card is pretty much a hand made affair with the written info typed on white card stock and then laminated in plastic.

The NACD card sounds like an Apprentice card not an Intro card.

The TDI Into includes both Single and doubles so no waiver is needed, you should not have a problem with doubles at Ginnie.
It is 1/3 in single and 1/6 in doubles
It is a Single primary guideline
Yes it does say about advanced topics! - Introductory Cave!
There is nowhere in any sport or profession you would learn advanced topics in an into class.

I am not an Instructor for NSS-CDS but I believe that the change from Into to Basic was to identify the new standard for Doubles. So I don’t believe you need a waiver there either.

As far as I know IANTD is the only one now that you would need a waiver for doubles in Intro.

You won't need a waiver for doubles at Ginnie with the IANTD cert. as long as it states "In doubles" TDI does not differentiate singles vs. doubles on their intro cards.
