Talk:Penetration diving

Does this subject rate its own article?
Or should it be merged and redirected? If so, I don't really know where to put it, it is more a category than a specific class of diving. If not, how do we usefully expand it to a real article? Constructive suggestions requested. &bull; &bull; &bull; Peter (Southwood) (talk): 06:57, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
 * It's never going to get beyond a barely-referenced stub, . My suggestion would be to use Chapter 9 of JJ's Fundamentals of Better Diving as a basis and expand the section on "Diving environment" in Underwater diving.
 * This article could then be redirected there (along with a few other similar stubs). --RexxS (talk) 18:32, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
 * I am inclined to agree. Unfortunately at present I don't have access to Fundamentals - the person I used to borrow it from appears to have lost his copy. There must be other sources though, so I will see what I can do. &bull; &bull; &bull; Peter (Southwood) (talk): 05:10, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirected more or less as suggested. &bull; &bull; &bull; Peter (Southwood) (talk): 06:19, 1 November 2016 (UTC)

The redirect target is not really satisfactory and is unsuitable for expansion, and there is now a fair amount of content available, so I will be reconstructing as a full article. There are several types of penetration diving for which we have a couple of large articles, so this will contain a high level summary of each of those, and some content to draw it all together coherently. &middot; &middot; &middot; Peter Southwood (talk): 06:31, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
