I think you're WAY off the mark here, Frank.
Although a vocal few think GUE is God's Gift to Diving, I don't for a minute think they represent anything even remotely approaching the "majority" opinion. That also doesn't for a minute imply that GUE may not be offereing quality training, but it also doesn't infer that ALL the other agencies are certifying dolts.
But I'll also be happy to put the NAUI course I personally teach up for review and have you, or anyone else, tell me it's worthless.
Any takers????
