Brock,
Mr. Bruic's response to my observation was a simple one, "it's the
little guy that voted these clowns and jesters of the highest court into
office, and only they can remove them." One of the problem's with this
perspective is there's a heck of a lot of cave divers out there, bearing
cards issued by these organizations, that are not polically active nor voting
members of any of these entities. Others who are members are not active
enough to know the "players" and either refrain from casting their votes on
this basis or take blind guesses based on the limited information provided
them before an election.
I've always been of the opinion that a good instructor will provide good
instruction in spite or what agency he or she might be affiliated with. I've
also notice that many good divers will progress into great divers despite who
did their initial training. Based on that perspective if it were my property
I'd be more inclined to refuse cards from certain instructors rather than
entire agencies. However, in the long run, whether right or wrong... good or
bad, as long as it's his property he may do with it as he pleases. There's
no room for arguement there, nor reason to disrespect that right.
As for you quandry, it's only one cave, there are others. If you've done
your research and settled upon an instructor you feel comfortable with stick
with him. Frankly I've never gotten around to a dive at Madison Blue,
haven't lost a minute's sleep over that fact and I'm sure I won't lose any in
the future if the situation remains the same.
Regards,
Bob D.

Wiesacosky in the fall. Where does this leave us? Jason is highly thought
of. In fact I reseached and approached him after receiving glowing reports
from G-III and Jim Cobb. I feel very fortunate be accepted. But now doors
are being slammed shut in me and my friends faces. As you said it's us
little guys that are being punished.
thanks for your concern
Dive safe
