hello diveoceanos,
damn, you beat me to it.
after some reflection i was about to mollify my previous post given i really did not have much information on which to form such a strong opinion (note to self: next time questions first); however, you just responded so i instead i will write here.
the "dubious" lack of training/knowledge i envisioned is seemingly incorrect as you illustrated (although your expertise clearly lies with scuba). my apology for jumping the gun. in the future i will attempt to keep my generalized skepticism and sardonic nature at bay
, at least until i have all the facts (then look out
).
i think that sam makes an excellent point here, perhaps you could illuminate us as to your motivation:
"The system already exists. If you want to use it, I suggest you become an AIDA Instructor. Why re-invent the wheel?"
on a lighter note, i have indeed enjoyed some of your previous posts where you have shared your knowledge of diving physiology. this one comes to mind where you posted the nitrogen tables for freediving

good luck with your program and keep us informed as to your progress.
cheers,
