Right you are. I am "jumping the gun" (is that the expression?). I see a possible problem in the future. We actually need a hundred safety divers right now. And we already have them, there are already that amount of qualified safetydivers available out there. Its just about setting a common basic standard and certifying them.

My worries are that the ones working on this within aida (because they are doing that now) will present something too detailed and complicated and that it will be set in a system where it involves a lot of money to certify yourself as a safetydiver. This might deter the competent ones and attract the ones that likes certificates.

My proposal to Aida would be to:
1) Set minimum standards.
2) Let the nationals take these standards and appoint the best safetydivers in their country to "spread" the knowledge at minimal cost.
3) Evaluate the system in a year and correct and develop.
