Chi is developed through meditation, through studying with one who has a great deal of it.

As Buddha points out, you should not rely on the opinions of others for validation of your internal progression.

I am a certified PADI Divemaster and a technical scuba diver. That is to say, I am involved with decompression diving where we dive to depths of 300 plus feet. But I was also recently certified for the Atlantis rebreather, where we dive to shallower depths ranging from about 60-130 feet.
