No problem on the update. And yes they did modify their training a few years ago. However, even in the past the first level of tech training allowed for gas switches to extend no deco dives and no gas over 40% with one bottle. In order to get to two bottles you had to get through a minimum of 12 dives. None of this matters though cause you and I both know that a quality instructor is way more important than the agency the card is issued from. One bottles or two bottles early on makes little difference if core skills are mastered and proper gas switch procedures are followed. What matters is the instruction you get and I would dare to say that PADI instructor you were referring to is not turning out dangerous tech students.
