You sound like a PADI puppet.. Are you saying with a straight face that you believe everyone of the 964,000 annual PADI certs issued really are to qualified diver's????
Give me a break... If you really believe that than you should show up this weekend at Catalina because the reason we are doing the demo at Casino Point is because when Terry and I were there a few weeks ago I couldn't believe my eyes..
This crap about having the students snokel from the steps to the mooring, pull themselves down the line and then sitting in the sand in a circle completeing a few meaningless skills and then passing the student is a God d*mn joke...
PADI, plain and simple, is the agency that is responsible for the declining skill level...
They don't challenge a diver, they sell him/her another class...
