and yes there is less than a snowflakes chance in hell of improving Their skills and yes PADI is getting rich giving them what they want. I used to supervise those little panga loads of people, we could have guided them into live Volcanos and they would go.
sorry the Viz was bad some swells (2 ft) I suppose from the storm that passed. I hope you got over to Spooky channel I love that!
I would add though that WE (most on this board) have found a big place in OUR lives for SCUBA and Freediving. I doubt if those folks you saw have ever thought to go to a SCUBA message board and have heated debates on configuration of gear etc. All the ranting and suggesting and trying is for US those that dive as often as cash and job will allow. I THINK I have more in common with US (you folks on this BBS and the like)(jb)
