Leading Recreational Divers? Why not take a Twinset?

It was an early start for Sascha this morning as he was in at 6am getting everything ready for an early dive on the Stubborn. John Kendell has been in the classroom all morning covering various topics of the Tech 1 course . . .

while Jack has been playing with his new squeaky toy . . .

On the odd occasion when Jason and Sascha have to lend a hand leading recreational divers on pleasure dives they always make a point of doing it in their twinset despite not really needing the extra air. They do this because they believe it’s still much safer for them to have the long hose and the additional air should anyone ever need it.

Aaron, one of the recreational instructors who also does tec diving, has decided to adopt this strategy. He has set up a rig that he can use for leading recreational pleasure divers like Jason and Sascha. Could this trend catch on? Maybe more and more recreational dive Instructors trained in technical diving will start to do this because of the added safety benefits for the people they are leading.
