"If I have frightened any potential student off, then good. I don't need overly sensitive people whining to me in the water. Besides I have a real Job. Only a whore would try to train everyone to dive$$$$$."
Wayne says: If what you teach is of value, and will make divers safer, then you should want more to take instruction, not fewer. If you were trying to teach more, I would never accuse you of doing it for the money. Nobody gets rich teaching SCUBA.
