CSA Diving subcommittees will be meeting in October to discuss the next set of changes to our diving standards. At the last CSA Competency Standard meeting in Victoria there was discussion on adding a new diving category to the standard; "Inshore Diving Safety Specialist". The standard does have an "Offshore Diving Safety Specialist" as an existing category. The Inshore Diving Safety Specialist would be a diving expert who would offer expert opinion or advise regarding safety to the diving industry. Do we need this designation or are we getting overloaded with "experts" when a competent supervisor is capable of doing the job? Find out what others think and discuss it here.
