That should be obvious to any agency. I�m not surprised though that NSS has instructors like Renneker. The quality of the instructors are getting worse every year much due to the different agencies trying to compete with the largest nr of instructors. Things are going to get even worse when PADI starts teaching tech diving. It�s a scary thought. >PADI Heads Into Technical Diving PADI announces its plans to unveil the new PADI TecRec program later this year. The TecRec program, which will offer training for diving beyond the conventional limits of recreational diving, answers the growing call from PADI Instructors for a valid, professionally designed instructional system in technical diving. "TecRec will appeal to divers interested in venturing beyond recreational limits," says Karl Shreeves, Vice President of Technical Development for Diving Science and Technology (DSAT), PADI's instructional product development corporate affiliate. "It gives PADI Instructors a way to meet this interest with a program grounded in state-of-the-art instructional design." Initial TecRec offerings planned include courses in deep diving and specialized activities, with ties to PADI recreational specialty courses that already exist. Shreeves says the courses' design will help safely bridge the gap between recreational diving experience and the demands of technical diving. It will also streamline the technical training process. "Sound instructional design eliminates inefficiencies, reinforces and confirms critical skills, and streamlines the learning/teaching processes." says Shreeves, "So PADI Instructors can expect TecRec to differ substantially from the tech courses out there now." With TecRec programs currently in initial development, PADI plans to offer a first-look at TecRec course materials at PADI Member Conference 2000 in Turks and Caicos at the end of October, with a major roll-out at the DEMA Show 2001 in New Orleans, LA, USA, next January. -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Fr�n: Mike Bruic [mailto:mikebruic@di*.co*] Skickat: den 7 april 2000 00:38 Till: cavers@cavers.com �mne: Rennaker Poll I have a simple question for "all" the members of this list.
