Recent changes in the definition of a restricted surface supplied diver at the CSA meeting in Quebec last month will allow restricted surface supplied divers to do various work tasks providing they have been trained to do the task. This is different than the previous restriction in that the only way you could use tools, cut, etc. UW was to get an unrestricted qualification. A restricted diver can only do certain things "unless the diver has received specific training and is qualified to perform these tasks” .The change will "fast track" many a diver that has no intention of deep diving in his/her career. If you are trained - you can do it. What do you think?
