<div dir="auto">Everyone keeps thinking in terms of 1atm subs, but I've never seen any classification rules regarding ambients. How would they fit into the proposed regulatory scheme? They let untrained tourists use those bubble helmet wet subs. That would certainly qualify as commercial. <span style="font-family: sans-serif;">Where does one draw the line between a scuba scooter and a wet sub? More importantly, does your average 19yo Coast Guard auxiliary-man know or care about the nuances separating a 1 ATM, dry ambient, partial dry ambient, and wet sub?</span><br />
