"If you ingrain sloppy and lackadasical mindsets and approachs into OW training, sooner or later that will catch up with you."
Mike, that totally ignores and discounts post certification experience which, in most cases, improves diving performance. We don't get dumb and dumber dive after dive. I'm asking for evidence of a direct link from sloppy and lackadaisical basic OW instruction to subsequent fatality. None yet, just subjective opinions with agendas.
