I think you're a bit out-of-order there Matthias, the guy asked a reasonable question to keep his buddy within comfort/quals/insurance limits. I agree that in some circumstances "you are only qualified..." is BS designed to sell courses, but it's also there to try and stop people with minimal training and experience (who simply don't know better) from parting with their existence rather than their cash. Give the guy a break, you simply don't know the circumstances. There is also one hell of a lot of difference between 18m and 30m that is far more than simple physics. Keith L  |
